The Cost of the 12 Days of Christmas
If you've ever wondered what it would cost your “true love” to give you all the items in the “12 Days of Christmas” song, then you're in luck.
Each year, PNC, a financial company, creates its Christmas Price Index, which adds up the cost of all the items in the song.
This year, for the first time, it would cost over $100,000 to buy everything; $101,119 to be exact. The most expensive item? Those silly seven swans-a-swimming will set you back $6,300. The partridge, at just $15, is the cheapest.
And no, there aren't any online deals to be had. That’s due to the high cost of shipping live birds, a PNC spokesman said.
