Jimmy Boyd, who as a skinny, red-headed kid of 12 recorded “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus,” then reprised it dozens of times on television variety shows in the 1950s and went on to an acting career in movies and television, died on Saturday (March 7) in Santa Monica, Calif. He was 70 and lived on a sailboat moored in Santa Monica Bay.
