12 Days of Christmas price tag up 10.8% over last year
|The $96,824 price tag is a 10.8% jump from last year, according to PNC Wealth Management. One factor is the big rise in gold prices, which pushed the cost of five gold rings up 30% to $649.95.
The most expensive item: $6,294.03 for nine ladies dancing. But there was some good news: Four of the 12 gifts did not go up: The pear tree ($149, sans partridge), four calling birds ($599.96), six geese ($150) and the eight maids-a-milking ($58).
