How Much Does It Cost? Too Much!

So you want to give your true love

This is how much it would cost, this year according to the PNC Christmas Price Index

TRUE COST OF CHRISTMAS IN SONG

$179,454.19 (+5.4%)

This represents the total cost of all the gifts bestowed by True Love when you count each repetition of the song, totaling 364 presents. Spreading cheer throughout the year in 2021 costs 5.4% more than in 2019.

Is your true love worth it? Fortune Magazine would say no, but only you can decide if your true love wants partridges, geese, milkmaids (plus cows), and all the rest. Maybe just the five gold rings? Personally, I'd rather get a few really nice dinners out, and maybe a gift card to a bookstore.
