The keywords showing up for my Christmas card site is looking like a
full blow porn site. can anyone tell me what I am a victom of and how
to correct it?
I have double checked the site map and pages and they all look
correct, so I am not sure how these are getting into my webmaster
tools
Sounds like you've been hacked. Check your whole site from the ground
up for suspicious looking files and/or stuff you know shouldn't exist.
Also check your .htaccess file if you have one.
If you find something, remove it. Then change all your passwords and
contact your host's tech support department (probably best even if you
don't find anything suspicious) to see whether they have any issues.

I have only been able to find the references in cached pages on
google. If I don't see them in view source on the live site, does that
mean it is fixed or that it isn't rendered in the final code. The
offending links are tagged hidden.

No. It means the hack involves testing for Googlebot as user agent and
serving that garbage content to it so it can cache it and index it.
This could be in .htaccess files or it can be in php scripts used on
the site. Maybe a footer script.
I am unable to reproduce it using http://web-sniffer.net with the user
agent set to Googlebot. But it deosn't mean it's clean now, not unless
you have cleaned it up already.

Unless you explicitly did something to have the hacked content
removed, I would consider the site still hacked. I can't see it here
at the moment, but you never know ... Also, if you did not remove
anything, you might want to contact your hoster to check if they did
something.
Back to my comment about changing your passwords a moment.
When you do change them, use something of at least 10 characters,
don't use a dictionary word, mix in random capitalization & numbers
and throw in non-alpha numeric characters [+-*<?!, etc] too.
Passwords are an extremely serious affair these days, and password-
crackers are becoming ever more sophisticated.
