ever wonder what the gifts in the 12 Days of Christmas would cost in today's world? Well, you can find out the approximate cost in 2008 dollars right here according to PNC Wealth Management.

Now we know.

Do you ever think you have to much time on your hands?

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!

HAHA This was great to read after unwinding from my final. I even linked it to one of my best friends since she'd get a great kick out of this.

PNC is my local bank. My father retired from that bank too!

My question is, why are the seven swans a swimming the most expensive?

I don't know why seven swans a-laying are so expencive either?

Oh, well I can cross this off my list of things to have this year.

Do you think the cost of the swans includes the cost of building a lake maybe? That's the only thing I can come up with. Because you are delivering seven swimming swans, not seven swans that can swim. So I guess you are delivering a lake or pond or pool or something with it as well.

If the lake was included, it would be a lot more wouldn't it because of the space?

Sure a whole lake would be more, maybe it's just the cost of an above ground pool or a small pond.

The swans thing is weird. Though then again, where does one buy swans?

I also find it strange the cost of french hens seems to be on the decline. Best stock up this year.

You can get swan eggs and hatchlings on-line. I have a friend who has a farm.

They do this same "study" every year. The price always goes up and it always is for the same reasons. Inflation, tariffs, import duties, fuel costs, labor, etc. I try to ignore these anymore.

Shouldn't they actually wait until we get closer to the twelve days of Christmas? I mean a lot can happen between now and December 26.
