My cousin was in The Howards, a Chicago band in the mid-1990s, and they did record a song with the title "Stuffin' Your Stocking". I can't find a link to send you, sadly.
Your Doug Sahm wish-list LP made me think of how wonderful a 13th Floor Elevators Xmas album would have been. That throbbing electric jug just somehow screams holiday joy to me. Herbie Mann's Push Push...the meaning of the title is revealed in the inside cover.
It would have glorious to have a Christmas LP with the effortless vocals of Billy Stewart! He'd likely write a few of the tunes. One of the more forgotten talents...shame he died so young and tragic.

Heartily agree most especially with the Doug Sahm and Link Wray longings.
I’d add my long held desire for an Alex Chilton Xmas record with him in full jazzy lounge singer mode. Wouldn’t that be delicious!
And one recommendation for a fan of The Ventures and Los Straitjacket contributions would be the fine offering from The Blue Hawaiians.
Happy Hollandaise All!!
