12Days

So if you had to buy EVERYTHING in the ‘The 12 Days of Christmas” – how much would that set you back?

Buying all of the gifts featured in the classic carol “The 12 Days of Christmas” is going to cost you $34,131 this year, according to the 32nd annual PNC Wealth Management Christmas Price Index.

That’s 0.6 percent more than the adjusted 2014 price of $33,933.

While nine out of the 12 gifts mentioned in the song stayed the same price as last year, the cost of turtle doves rose a whopping 11.5 percent due to increased grain prices that pushed up feed costs.

(Alas, it doesn’t seem that birds have jumped on the gluten-free bandwagon.) Here are all of the numbers, according to PNC’s calculations:

  1. Partridge, $25; last year: $20
  2. Pear tree, $190; last year: $188
  3. Two turtle doves, $290; last year: $260
