This info is trivial, but entertaining. From the JustSell.com daily newsletter – the 2007 cost of the 12 days of Christmas from the CNNMoney.com website:
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
6. Geese-a-Laying – $360
7. Swans-a-Swimming – $4,200
8. Maids-a-Milking – $46.80
9. Ladies Dancing – $4,759.19
10. Lords-a-Leaping – $4,285.06
11. Pipers Piping – $2,213.40
12. Drummers Drumming – $2,397.85
I had no idea the price of Lords-a-Leaping had gone up so much.
