Does anyone have a list of all the US Christmas coils that have been made?

My attempt at identifying them include:
2013 Snowflakes 4808-4812 (maybe more Winter than Christmas, but...)
2002 Snowmen (labelless) 3680-83
1995 Santa & Child 3014-3017
1994 Santa 2873
1993 Greetings 2799-2803

Any confirmation and / or corrections would be appreciated.

One minor correction. 2803 was from the snowman ATM pane. The coils are 2799-2802.

Thank you for your willingness to share your knowledge and your correction.

So is that all of them? Seems like so few were done in coils. I wonder how the USPS decides which to do coils.

It just dawned on me that the 1995 midnight angel was also issued in coil format. Scott #3018. That's the only extra one I can come up with.
Added: There were the toy coils (3638-3641) from 2002. While I always thought that these looked like Christmas stamps, I don't believe they were considered to be such.

Definitely the midnight angel.
I agree on the toys that they are probably not.

The toy coils were issued as 'antique toys' by the post office. Not only that, they were also issued on January 3, so that leaves Christmas out for sure!

Wile many consider the MA to be a Christmas issue, the PO continued to sell that one year round rather than only in the months leading up to Christmas.
