So you want to give your true love
This is how much it would cost, this year according to the PNC Christmas Price Index
TRUE COST OF CHRISTMAS IN SONG
$179,454.19 (+5.4%)
This represents the total cost of all the gifts bestowed by True Love when you count each repetition of the song, totaling 364 presents. Spreading cheer throughout the year in 2021 costs 5.4% more than in 2019.
Is your true love worth it? Fortune Magazine would say no, but only you can decide if your true love wants partridges, geese, milkmaids (plus cows), and all the rest. Maybe just the five gold rings? Personally, I'd rather get a few really nice dinners out, and maybe a gift card to a bookstore.
Thanks, Donna. I had no idea.
Here's the song: https://youtu.be/1DTwLqR071M
As a Canadian, we have a different song to celebrate the 12 Days of Christmas. It's ... farcical and celebrating its 40th anniversary this month! If you remove cigarettes and beer from the Canadian version, our gifts have actually gotten quite a but cheaper with cost of living and wage increased considered!
