50s from Bing and Gene etc.  She, of course, wouldn't know about Santa
hiding in the Phonograph but I have never found any Santa songs from the 20s
or 30s, not counting "'Twas the Night before Christmas" read by Milton Cross
 but that's not a song.  Surely Santa must have been a major part of
Christmas for kids during those decades and his image was certainly poplular
in Coke commercials.

There's the earlier mentioned SANTA CLAUS IS COMIN' TO TOWN by Tommy Dorsey
and also SANTA CLAUS CAME IN THE SPRING by Benny Goodman, both from 1935. 
And there were a couple of Santa songs using his alias Saint Nicholas or
Saint Nick (but I can't find any recordings of these).
