I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

The New Yorker ~ Perry Barlow
According to Dan Woog's 06880.com blog, that's about all things Westport, CT, the song I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus had its origins as this 1939 New Yorker cover by Westport artist Perry Barlow.

Years later in 1952, Sax Fifth Avenue used Barlow's illustration for its Christmas card and commissioned the song by Jimmy Boyd which went to #1 on the Billboard charts.
