Rising Cost of Twelve Days of Christmas

So, just how much would it cost if your true love gave you everything listed in the holiday classic “The Twelve Days of Christmas”? According to a yearly analysis by PNC Wealth Management, the total cost for all of the items in the song is more than $114,000. PNC’s Jim Dunigan gives details. “The overall index of the items in the Twelve Days of Christmas is up 7.7% and that is lead this year by the nine ladies dancing, which are up 20%.” Dunigan says that the biggest increase could be found in “service” gifts.  “Ladies dancing, pipers, drummers and lords of leaping, all saw increases but the good side we actually had six items that showed no increase this year.”
