The “12 Days Of Christmas” Items Are Only A Little More Pricey This Year.
Did you know there was such a thing as the Christmas Price Index, which figures out what it would cost to buy all the items in the “12 Days of Christmas” song? Me neither. Well, I just read that it only climbed 0.9% from last year because of the falling price of birds. Yes, you read that right – bird prices have dropped since last year. Buying all 12 items on the list would cost you $87,402.81. From CNN:
The index got the biggest boost from a surge in the price of gold, which is at a record high near $1,200. That sent the cost of five golden rings up 43% this year.

French hens, however, bucked the trend. Prices for the imported poultry jumped 50% to $45 for three.

There are people who track everything, aren’t there? I always think that when I am watching a baseball game and the guys have random stats like how many times a batter has batted lefty, in the rain, in that park, on the 12th of the month. Strange.
