The cost of The Twelve Days of Christmas is on the rise — again.
Buying each item in the song just once — from a partridge in a pear tree to a dozen drummers drumming — will cost you $18,920, or 3% more than last year.
The total cost of items gifted by a True Love who repeats all of the song's verses costs more than ever before — $75,122!!!!
While prices for the partridge, two turtle doves, three French hens, six geese and seven swans remained the same as last year, higher wages made the lords a-leaping, ladies dancing and pipers piping costlier.
For the price of buying all 364 items, you could get a brand new, fully-loaded special edition Hummer 2, a cruise around the world, a 5-carat diamond ring or top-of-the-line watch.
Trying to find cheaper deals online won't help, either. The 364 items online would cost $125,767, including shipping costs!
Yeah, I guess just stick with the iPod ;)
