12 days of Christmas...


How much would you pay for the items in "12 days of Christmas"?

for every item mentioned 
 the total comes to nearly $100,000!

(I bet you are feeling  much better at how much you've spent on your Christmas gifts this year now)

OR
you could just get one of everything. 
That would cost only $23,439!


 the total cost of ALL (364) of the items repeated in the song's verses
from the 12 drummers drumming to a partridge in a pear tree...
it all comes to $96,824!
