Christmas can get expensive!

I know first hand that Christmas can get expensive. With Three kids, wife, and dog... and myself included the pile under the tree isn't free!

I found this an interesting list...

This year "The Twelve Days of Christmas" will cost your True Love $19,507, an increase of 3.1% over last year, according to the 23rd Annual PNC Christmas Price Index. That rise is consistent with the 3.5% increase in the U.S. government's Consumer Price Index so far this year.

Here's the breakdown of the 12 days...
1. Partridge in a Pear Tree - $164.99
2. Turtle Doves - $40
3. French Hens - $45
4. Calling Birds - $599.96
5. Gold Rings - $395
