PITTSBURGH (November 30, 2009)--Anyone looking to buy all of the items listed in the song “The 12 Days of Christmas” would need to fork over more than $87,000 this year, but that’s just a few hundred more than the items would have cost last year.

As PNC Wealth Management calculates it, which includes buying the items repeatedly as the song suggests, the precise cost would be $87,403, but on the bright side, PNC's "Christmas Price Index" is up $794 more than last year’s, which is an increase of less than one percent thanks to lower energy costs and fewer wage increases.

It's the five golden rings that account for most of the increase.

The price of gold has risen 43 percent since last year, and the rings would cost $500, up from $150.

The most expensive item would be the nine ladies dancing, at $5,473 per performance.

Of the material goods, the seven swans-a-swimming are the biggest hit at $5,250, but that's $350 cheaper than last year.

There's a note of caution for those who would buy it all online. That would cost $10,000 more, largely because of the shipping costs for birds.
