The price of giving all the items bestowed by the “true love” of the song
“The Twelve Days of Christmas” may be a little beyond most people’s
budget. The following costs were calculated based upon a
report issued by PNC Bank Corp., assuming an annual rate of
inflation of 2.5 percent

1. Partridge in a pear tree $38
2. Turtle doves $54
3. French hens $16
4. Calling birds $302
5. Gold rings $485
6. Geese-a-laying $162
7. Swans-a-swimming $7,538
8. Maids-a-milking $37
9. Pipers piping $2,807
10. Ladies dancing $3,245
11. Lords-a-leaping $1,194
12. Drummers drumming $1,293

Total to give gifts once $17,170
Total to give as in song* $78,986

* Singing the song in its entirety results in 364 presents. The partridge
is given 12 times, two doves 11 times (22 total), etc., etc., etc…
