As we near the end of 2020, the list of odd things continues to grow. This year even the Christmas carols are looking different. For the romantic folks that were thinking this would be the year they would recognize “The Twelve Days Of Christmas”, you will save big in 2020. Besides costing roughly half as much as other years, the list of items you can give over the twelve days looks a lot different thanks to CoVid-19.
Here’s the entire list for 2020 along with the percentage changes from 2019:
-
1 Partridge in a Pear Tree: $210.18 (0%)
-
2 Turtledoves: $450.00 (+50%)
-
3 French Hens: $210.00 (+15.7%)
-
4 Calling Birds: $599.96 (no change)
-
5 Gold Rings: $945.00 (+14.5%)
-
6 Geese-a-Laying: $570.00 (+35.7%)
-
7 Swans-a-Swimming: $13,125.00 (no change)
-
8 Maids-a-Milking: $58.00 (no change)
-
9 Ladies Dancing: NOT AVAILABLE
-
10 Lords-a-Leaping: NOT AVAILABLE
-
11 Pipers Piping: NOT AVAILABLE
-
12 Drummers Drumming: NOT AVAILABLE
If you really want to impress with all 364 items mentioned in the song (if you include the repeat gifts), it will cost you $105,561.80 in 2020. That is 38% less than in 2019.
‘The 12 Days Of Christmas’ Look A Little Different In The Pandemic
Looks like we only have access to gifts for the first 8 days of Christmas this year if we go with the original list of items. There is another alternative though, if we go with a more Canadian version of the song and give “A Moose in a Maple Tree” instead.
