Hearing Breathe Me -- Sia

It Really Is That Time of Year Again


The annual 12 Days of Christmas Cost Index has been updated, and this year, from the partridge in a pear tree to the 12 drummers drumming, it'll cost you $78,100 to get them all. Personally I think it would cost more if you insisted on ten actual members of nobility for your "Lords a-Leaping"; I don't expect lords come cheap, nor their dignity, for that matter. But maybe you could get a discount if you used, say, earls rather than dukes. Someone needs to look into that.
