So we’ve well at least many of us have grown up hearing if not singing the song about the 12 days of Christmas. In case you’ve never done the math there are 364 items mentioned in the song that would put a dent in your bank account of $107,000.00. This according to PNC Wealth Management.
Oddly enough the price for all the non-golden egg laying geese, calling birds, French Hens, milking maids etc has gone up 6.1 percent from last years cost. Yes people actually did research about this stuff. The biggest price uptick came from the bird gifts following a 2011 drought that raised the cost of corn and other feed.
