PITTSBURGH (Nov. 27) - The cost of "The Twelve Days of Christmas" is on the rise - again.
Buying each item in the song just once - from a partridge in a pear tree to a dozen drummers drumming - will cost you $18,920, or 3.1 percent more than last year, according to PNC Financial Services Group.
The total cost of items gifted by a True Love who repeats all of the song's verses costs more than ever before - $75,122 - for all 364 items, up from $72,608 in 2005, a 3.5 percent increase.
Trying to find cheaper deals online won't help, either. The 364 items online would cost $125,767, including shipping costs, compared to $123,846 last year. You would spend $30,330 online for each item just once this year.
