Sony’s SingStar upcoming Christmas music list includes a real gem.  Although I think that depends on how you define “gem.”

For those in need of some festive tunes to compliment holiday entertaining, a Christmas song pack will be released mid-December on the SingStore. The pack will be available for $6.99 and will include the following:

• Toni Braxton — ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Xmas’
• Babyface — ‘Sleigh Ride’
• Shakin’ Stevens — ‘Merry Christmas’
• Paul McCartney — ‘Wonderful Christmastime’
• Celine Dion — ‘Christmas Eve

(Emphasis added.)

Yes, they included Paul McCartney’s ‘Wonderful Christmastime’ – a song that Paul probably wrote on his Casio keyboard late one Christmastime night after a few too many rummed-up glasses of Eggnog.  Ugh!  Couldn’t they have licensed a better song than that???

Also, for anyone who loves ABBA, SingStar’s ABBA hit stores yesterday.
