TRENDS -- THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS
The yearly Christmas Price Index, calculated by PNC Wealth Management
in Pittsburgh, reflects the current costs of the gifts given by the
True Love to the singer of the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas."
According to the 22nd annual survey, the true cost (the cumulative
cost of all the gifts with the repetitions listed in the song) is
$75,122 for all 364 items, up from $72,608 in 2005. This is a 3.5
percent increase. The partridge's home saw the greatest increase of
all the items in the index, as pear tree prices increased 44 percent
from last year. Wages for skilled workers, including the song's
dancers and musicians, have also increased, but Maids-a-Milking, who
are paid the minimum wage, were the only service providers not to see
an increase this year.
it's an udder shame about those maids' wages.
it's early, but Merry Christmas to all!
