LOC Needed for the 12 Days of Christmas

It looks like you would need to take out a pretty big line of credit if you wanted to get your loved one all the items that are sung about in the 12 Days of Christmas.

According to a chart on the PNC Advisors website the cost to get all these items comes to about $21,080.

Compared to other years, there has been an increase in wages for performers, most likely a result of all the union strikes, which contributed to the overall increase. To have all those ladies dancing, drummers drumming and pipers pipping will take up a good chunk of change.

There are a few items that are less expensive then previous years. Gold rings are down, as are the prices for french hens and geese.

Of course these prices don't take into account the additional expense of shipping and storing over 20 animals and housing and feeding 50 some people. Plus, how exactly does one go about wrapping up a pear tree?

It might be better to stick to the more traditional gifts this year.
