The Price of The Twelve Days of Christmas

The cost of six geese-a-laying spiked considerably this year, while most of the items in the carol "The Twelve Days of Christmas," saw little to no increase, according to the 31st annual PNC Wealth Management Christmas Price Index.  A set of gifts in each verse of the song would set you back $27,673 in stores, an increase of less than $300 or 1 percent from last year.  If you missed my Twelve Days of Christmas Post...you can see it Here.
