We all know that inflation has hit our pocket books pretty hard the past few months, and the 12 Days of Christmas will be affected too!
The annual report that estimates the cost came out and its up 10.5% from last year!
- A partridge in a pear tree – $280
- Two turtle doves – $600
- Three French hens – $319
- Four calling birds – $600
- Five golden rings – $1,245
- Six geese-a-laying – $720
- Seven swans-a-swimming – $13,125
- Eight maids-a-milking – $58
- Ten lords-a-leaping – $13,980 (based on how much it would cost to hire ten dancers from the Philadelphia ballet.)
- Eleven pipers piping – #3,021
- Twelve drummers drumming – $3,267
This is by far my favorite ‘The 12 Days of Christmas’ song!
