what is the prices of twelve days of christmas?

Answer 1

$18,920 in 2006

$75,122 if verses are repeated

Answer 2

While the cost of the 12 Days of Christmas rose 6% last year due to increased oil and gold prices as well as fears of the avian bird flu, they rose just 3.1% this year due to other factors: the main reason being an increase of wages for skilled workers such as the dancers and musicians. The price for all the items in the classic “The Twelve Days of Christmas” song reached $18,920 this year according to the annual survey conducted by PNC Advisors. For those seeking to go all out and buy all 364 items repeated by the verse, the cost rose 3.5 percent to $75,122.

Courtesy of Wikipedia and other sites:

"As a tongue-in-cheek economic indicator, each year economists will compute the cost for all the gifts mentioned in the song. For 2005, the survey by PNC Advisors showed a 9.50% increase over 2004. It breaks down to:

One Partridge in a Pear Tree: $104.99 ($15.00 Partridge, $89.99 Pear Tree)
Two Turtle Doves: $40.00 ($20.00 each)
Three French Hens: $45.00 ($15.00 each)
Four Calling Birds: $399.96 ($99.99 each)
Five Gold Rings: $325.00 ($65.00 each)
Six Geese-a-Laying: $300.00 ($50.00 each)
Seven Swans-a-Swimming: $4,200.00 ($600.00 each)
Eight Maids-a-Milking: $41.20 ($5.15 each)
Nine Ladies Dancing: $4,576.14 ($508.46 each)
Ten Lords-a-Leaping: $4,039.08 ($403.91 each)
Eleven Pipers Piping: $2,053.20 ($186.66 each)
Twelve Drummers Drumming: $2,224.30 ($185.36 each)
Total Christmas Price Index: $18,348.87
"Core" index, excluding swans: $14,148.87
True cost of Christmas in song: $72,608.02 (including 364 total gifts)
In 2006, the indexes — now in their 22nd year — reached their highest values ever. The "total" index rose to $18,920.59, or 3.1 percent above 2005, while the "true cost" index climbed 3.5 percent to $75,122.03. The "core" index added 4.0 percent to $14,720.59.

In a nod to modern shopping trends, the annual report includes an Internet component. If the gifts were entirely purchased online, the total cost escalates to $30,330.49 (3.4 percent higher than 2005), and the true cost reaches $125,767.32 (1.6 percent higher)."
