12 days of Christmas

How much does a partridge in a pear tree cost anyway? And does anyone really need twelve of them? The answer to the first question is easily solved by the PNC Christmas Index. This year, the items given in the "Twelve Days of Christmas" will set you back a 22-year high of $18920.59.

One of the reasons for the rise in costs this year? Dramatically low unemployment. It is evidently hard to find good drummers-a-drumming and pipers piping. Nine Ladies Dancing earned $4,759, 4 percent more than in 2005.

So be sure that your true love really wants all that stuff before you make the investment.
