Today I was browsing BuzzFeed, as is my wont, and I came across this:
Wait...WHAT? It never occurred to me either, probably because that's not implied in the lyrics at all:
View this video on YouTube
I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night.
She didn't see me creep
Down the stairs to have a peek
She thought I was tucked
Up in my bedroom fast asleep.
Then, I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white.
Oh, what a laugh it would have been,
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night!
I sent the Tumblr image to my co-workers and the reaction was swift and furious:
rachelwmiller [3:37 PM]:
is the song about the husband being dressed up as santa?!
terripous [3:38 PM]:
IS IT???
rachelwmiller [3:38 PM]:
are there verses that explain this???
alanna [3:38 PM]:
wait WHAT
i never even THOUGHT about that
terripous [3:38 PM]
never thought it was anything other than a cheating song
rachelysanders [3:38 PM]:
omg you guys
yes santa is obviously the dad
emma.tyler [3:39 PM]:
i read something like this like 2 years ago and it blew my damn mind
rachelysanders [3:39 PM]:
the child is an idiot
rachelwmiller [3:39 PM]:
what do you mean OBVIOUSLY, Rachel?
rachelysanders [3:39 PM]:
like ALL OF YOU
rachelwmiller [3:39 PM]:
you just called us all idiots omg
alanna [3:39 PM]:
i thought mommy was a slut!
rachelwmiller [3:39 PM]:

rachelysanders [3:39 PM]:
i have amended my word choice
it was uncharitable
Note: Her statement now says, "The child is just mistaken."
alanna [3:41 PM]:
why did daddy dress up though
if he was never supposed to be seen
IS IT A SEX THING
Well...IS it a sex thing?!?!
