before<\/a>, but I think it bears repeating.<\/em><\/p>\nIf you\u2019re at the bell-still-rings-for-you age, which is the age I was when I first heard it, it just makes you think Mommy\u2019s an A Number One floozy.\u00a0 You come away from the whole tune feeling really bad for yourself, Dad AND for Mrs. Claus.<\/p>\n
The visual of Mom and Santa necking under the mistletoe is wrong. Way wrong.\u00a0 No six-year-old needs that picture in their head \u2013 or to be left feeling like Santa could come between their parents\u2019 marriage during the most wonderful time of the year.\u00a0 Further, it would NOT\u00a0have been a laugh if Daddy had seen that nonsense last night at the obviously wine-fueled Christmas party.\u00a0 It would have been horrifying, so thank heavens Dad didn\u2019t see that nonsense last night at the obviously wine-fueled Christmas party.\u00a0 Poor Dad.<\/p>\n
And a\u00a0quick show of hands for Team\u00a0Mrs. Claus here!?\u00a0 We all know\u00a0she doesn\u2019t spend a whole\u00a0year fattening up Santa (eat, Papa, eat!) just so some OTHER gal can get her Christmas-party mitts on him as soon as he\u2019s out of her sight.\u00a0 Added to that, one year I found gifts from Mrs. Claus under the tree. They were the most wonderful Barbie clothes I saw at the farmers market earlier in the year.\u00a0 The package was signed \u201cMrs. Claus.\u201d\u00a0 Oh yeah, you better believe I\u2019m team Mrs. Claus.\u00a0 And if you weren’t before, you are now too, aren\u2019t you?!<\/p>\n
And if you\u2019re listening to this song as a grown-up and you\u2019re in on the whole nudge nudge, wink wink<\/em> \u201cWhy yes, Virginia there IS a Santa Claus\u201d shtick?\u00a0 You\u2019re gasping at the brazen mistletoe balls of this song.\u00a0 Outing the whole secret in front of everyone and their brother.\u00a0 Even though it’s\u00a0not sung outright in so many\u00a0words, we know what’s what.\u00a0 Also, it speaks to some seriously weird fetish(es) that don\u2019t belong anywhere near Holly Jolly Christmas. Blaaach! <\/em><\/p>\nSo no. No more of this song, please and thank you. \u00a0\u00a0Get your laughs some other way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Before the season is completely done, I gotta get something off my chest. The \u201cI saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus\u201d song? I don\u2019t dig it.\u00a0 I may have mentioned this before, but I think it bears repeating.
