We're all familiar with the song "The 12 Days of Christmas" with all the Lords a leaping, etc. The current cost of getting all of these items according to the PNC Christmas Price Index is $34,363.49, up +0.7% from last year. It breaks down the price of each item. Be sure to check it out!
Here's a fun twist by Allan Sherman ("Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah") called "The 12 Gifts of Christmas". I loved this song as a kid. Some of the references won't make sense to you if you're under about 50 years old, but here it is:
I did my own version of the 12 days of Christmas 16 years ago (Danny was 11 and Nick was 7). I did it starting 11 days before Christmas and ending up on Christmas Day. Here is the final verse:
On the 12th day of Christmas my true love gave to me:
12 fragrant roses
A gift from our 11 year old
A $10 gift certificate
9 mini Cinnabons
8 Christmas cookies
A gift from our 7 year old
6 weeks of dance lessons
5 O-N-I-O-N R-I-N-G-S
4 calling cards (plus a cell phone)
3 French toasts
2 chocolate Dove bars
And a Partridge Family CD
Starting on Christmas Day I'm going to do a series of blog posts called "The 12 Days of Follow-up". Stay tuned for those posts, if you're in sales I'm sure they'll come in handy!
