Every year, those wild and crazy folks over at PNC Bank (Wealth Management division) calculate their little brains out and determine the cost of all the items in "The 12 Days of Christmas".
$116,273 this year.
1.4% increase from 2013.
Read the story here:
Here's the details, item by item:
Partridge, $20; last year: $15
Pear tree, $188; last year: $184
Two turtle doves, $125; last year: same
Three French hens, $181; last year: $165

And only $750 for 5 gold rings? Yeesh. Musta been purchased at Wal-Mart. Or Big Lots.
Out for now......
