Everyone is familiar (or should be) with the carol “12 Days of Christmas,” often played on repeat throughout the holiday season. I don’t mean to be a humbug when I say that truthfully, I find the carol to be my least favorite Christmas classic. As much as I love the holiday regalia, carols and food, I do not – for one reason or another – love the repetitive “12 Days of Christmas” song.

That being said – there is no way anyone in 2013 would actually buy 8 maids-a-milking, 12 drummers drumming or 11 pipers piping for Christmas – unless of course you’re taking the holiday a bit too far.

Today, The Atlantic revealed that the total cost of an actual “12 days of Christmas” in 2013 comes in at a whopping $114,651.18. Wowza. The data was calculated by PNC, who annually calculates “the rough cost of each round in the ‘12 Days of Christmas,’ from the partridge in the pear tree ($199.99) to a dozen drumming drummers ($2,854.80).” The total cost of $114, 651.18 was found by calculating “each alliterative line item over and over again until you get to the 12 drummers drumming.”

They are, as The Atlantic puts it, truly impractical gifts, which seem to be getting more and more expensive with every year. Just the total cost for one round of the 12 gifts in the song, “12 Days of Christmas” would still cost you $27,393.17.

PNC tells us that the price index (if nothing else) is also an interesting way of looking at the changes in consumer spending over the years and a good way to “measure…trends in the economy.” The data reveals how prices for even something as simple as geese has fluctuated throughout the years.

Therefore, I’m going to venture out on a limb here and caution you to not take this song seriously – at all. If you don’t believe us, check out the Christmas data in the infographic below. While the song still remains a hit, this data proves that one day of Christmas is quite enough.
