Just one week from today we will be putting the finishing touches on Christmas preparations, and listening to Requestmas on Country 100.7. Heavy rain on the weekend won’t really help if you don’t have the tree in yet and might mean you get wet trying to wrap up any shopping you are still trying to get finished.
I had trouble with that this year coming up with ideas for some on my list and just incase I am not the only one in that predicament, I thought I would share these suggested ideas I stumbled on. The perfect gift for someone might be one of the ones suggested here.
8 seriously great gift ideas that cost zero dollars
Now for those that are feeling the need to overdo it this season, I have the cost of the 12 Days of Christmas for 2022, just shy of $200,000.00 if you keep repeating the items like the song says. That is up 10.5% from 2021. Even if you only buy each item the one time you will be looking at a $45,523.27 bill.
The only things that did not increase in price, 4 Calling Birds, 7 Swimming Swans and the 8 Milk Maids.
The full list of items, with the percentage increase from 2021, is below:
- Partridge in a pear tree: $280.18 (+25.8%)
- Two turtledoves: $600 (+33.3%)
- Three French hens: $318.75 (+25%)
- Four calling birds: $599.96 (0.0%)
- Five gold rings: $1,245 (+39.1%)
- Six geese-a-laying: $720 (+9.1%)
- Seven swans-a-swimming: $13,124.93 (+0.0%)
- Eight maids-a-milking: $58 (0.0%)
- Nine ladies dancing: $8,308.12 (+10%)
- Ten lords-a-leaping: $13,980 (+24.2%)
- Eleven Pipers Piping: $3,021.40 (+2.6%)
- Twelve Drummers Drumming: $3,266.93 (+2.6%)
Grand Total: $45,523.27 (+10.5%)
What the ’12 Days of Christmas’ will cost you with 2022’s inflation
The one thing I could not find was the costing of the Canuck version of the 12 days of Christmas.
Hope you enjoy.
