I like the disclaimer you made on the "O" trilogy. Here's a version to warm your heart:

Gotta concur with the Andy Williams selection, though I'd also add his rendition of "It's the Holiday Season" becaus it flat rocks in an early post-swing-band sense, and also his version of "The 12 Days of Christmas" (aka "A Song for the Christmas Tree" I believe) because a) the arrangement is pleasantly different, b) the lyrics are altered to make it more relevant to contemporary eary 60s urban swingin' society, and c) no stupid and repetitive emphasis on "FIVE GOLDEN RINGS!!" or whatever there are five of in Andy's version.

"Ya scumbag, ya maggot, ya cheap lousy faggot! Happy Christmas yer arse, I pray God it's our last!"

And raise your glass in memory of the late Michael Vale.
