Continuing our hard-hitting holiday series, next week we’ll explore Frosty the Snowman The Missing Years.The Twelve Days of Christmas written by English Comic Jeff Foxworthy got into the act with his version of The Redneck Twelve Days of Christmas (a 12 pack of Bud, 11 rasslin tickets, a tin of Copenhagen, 9 years probation, 8 table dances, 5 flannel shirts, 3 shotgun shells…you get the idea).Įnduring the occasional annoying holiday song is a small price to pay for the tradeoff of experiencing the other joys of the holiday experience, of course, so I’ll continue to grin and bear it whenever I hear the Twelve Days. Allan Sherman of “Hello Mudda, Hello Fadda” fame did one.

Twelve Days is also a popular song to parody. To dramatize that banjo virtuoso Bela Fleck performs a version that he rolls through 12 different keys using 12 different time signatures. For one thing, its time signature is not constant. Twelve Days is an unusual song for other reasons, too. Maybe it’s just me, but every time I hear The Twelve Days of Christmas, I think of Mitch Miller or the Ray Coniff Singers on a cheesy Andy Williams or Robert Goulet Christmas Special with the Muppets. That is undeniably a great story, but there’s not a shred of evidence to suggest that it’s true. PNC, which has published its index since 1984, checks with jewelry stores, dance companies, pet stores and other sources to compile its list, which it says reflects actual economic trends.Īccording to that theory, each of the 12 gifts represents something significant about the Christian faith or the Bible - the partridge in the pear tree is Jesus, the two turtle doves are the Old and New Testaments, the four calling birds are the Gospels of (Matthew, Mark, Luke and Little John), the five golden rings are the first five books of the Bible, also known as the Pentateuch, the eight milking maids are the eight Beatitudes from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, the 10 lords-a-leaping are the Ten Commandments, etc. The three French hens are also down to $15 from $30, and the six geese-a-laying are similarly down to $120, both reflecting the recent decline in food prices. On the other hand, gold is down a bit, so the five golden rings will run about $350 apiece as opposed to $395. Likewise, the cost of 10 lords-a-leaping, 11 pipers piping and 12 drummers drumming were all up about 3 percent, reflecting a general trend in wages. The eight maids-a-milking were up 12 percent to $52.40 due largely to an increase in the national minimum wage. The PNC Financial Services Group has published its annual Christmas Price Index in which they determine the current price of each of the items featured in the popular carol “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” This year, the total cost of all 364 gifts that her “true love gave to her” is $86,609, up 10.9 percent from last year’s $78,100. If you are thinking that holiday shopping will be a bit more expensive this year than it was last year, you are correct.
