28 days till X'mas

An easy and cheap Christmas present!



It only costs $107,300!

That is right, it is that cheap.

I read 2 different articles on a popular carol.

The 12 days of Christmas.

According to one source:


Cost of "The Twelve Days of Christmas" gifts
  • Partridge: $15 (last year: same)
  • Pear tree: $189.99 (last year: $169.99)
  • Two turtle doves: $125 (last year: same)
  • Three French hens: $165 (last year: $150)
  • Four calling birds (canaries): $519.96 (last year: same)
  • Five gold rings: $750 (last year: $645)
  • Six geese a-laying: $210 (last year: $162)
  • Seven swans a-swimming: $7,000 (last year: $6,300)
  • Eight maids a-milking: $58 (last year: same)
  • Nine ladies dancing (per performance): $6,294 (last year: same)
  • 10 lords a-leaping (per performance): $4,767 (last year: same)
  • 11 pipers piping (per performance): $2,562 (last year: $2,428)
  • 12 drummers drumming (per performance): $2,776 (last year: $2,630)
That is a lot!

Now if you want a cheaper version of this, go to your local library and see if they have "Emma's Christmas".  It is a sweet book about a girl who is given the gifts everyday for 12 days by a handsome prince. They fall in love and live happily ever after. The End.



So next time you want a cheap present, scratch the 12 days of Christmas off your list, unless it is the book!
