πŸ’‘ Today's Bonus: Knowledge Gets Weird!

Every year since 1984, PNC Bank has calculated the actual cost of buying all the gifts from "The 12 Days of Christmas" song. In 2024, the total came to over $200,000. And that's for buying them just once, not repeating them like the song suggests. Let's break down some of the absurd costs. Seven swans-a-swimming will run you about $13,125. These aren't regular swansβ€”they're mute swans, and they're expensive, require permits, and need specialized care. Good luck explaining that to your HOA. Six geese-a-laying cost around $780. But that's just for the birds themselves. You also need to feed them, house them, and deal with the fact that you now own six geese. They're mean, loud, and will attack your neighbors. The "five golden rings" seems reasonable at around $1,245β€”until you realize the rest of the gifts include 23 actual birds, 40 total gifts, and the need to hire 12 drummers and 11 pipers every single day. If you actually followed the song's repetition structure, you'd end up with 364 gifts total. That includes 184 birds, 40 maids milking (with cows), 36 ladies dancing, and a partridge that you've somehow acquired 12 times. The most expensive item? The 12 drummers drumming at professional rates would cost over $3,600 just for one day. Multiply that by the 12 days, and you're spending a fortune on percussion. So that "romantic" Christmas song? It's describing gifts that would bankrupt most people. Your true love would need a small fortune and a farm to pull it off.
