I've shared this information before on my d-foreverserenity blog and will continue my tradition of writing about it on my fashion blog instead. Why? Well, it is about the cost of Christmas. We love to shop and share fashionable information, and in our economy, what we buy, what we spend and how we shop, is a part of our aesthetics. PNC Wealth Management, pncmc.com, often shares this information based on the Christmas Carol, the 12 Days of Christmas. Think about it curvy divas, if you were to actually buy everything on the list from this song, what the cost would be? Well, that's where PNC comes in, they have actually done all the work and put the cost together for each items mentioned in the Christmas Carol!! How neat (amazing) is that?! ~Sing w/me~ "On the first day of Christmas, my true love sent to me...."
The first item in the song - A Partridge in a Pear tree.
The cost of the Partridge and the pear tree have gone up, according to PNC because shipping charges are higher now. Cost = $207.68
Two Turtledoves = $125.00 no increase here, go watch their cute "Dovesteps" video!lol!
Three French Hens = $181.50, an increase - Vive Les Hens!hahahaha...cute dressed up, they've obliviously had their feathers done!
Four Calling Birds = $599.96, no increase - I'm rolling on the floor with this one!lol!
Now for the big one, what would be the cost of Five Gold(en) Rings? $750! While the cost of gold has risen, the retail price is the same. (Read why from that link)
Do you want to know the rest? Me too, However, while I'm going to peruse at will on my own, I'm linking the website below for you to go watch, laugh and share, so the world can laugh with us too! What is the total cost of Christmas 2014? A whopping $27,673.22! (up by 1% but still costly!) Do let me know what you think about this.
