Rising inflation is to blame for the rise in price of another American icon...

For the first time, the many gifts in the famous song, 12 Days of Christmas will top $100,000, an increase of 4.4% over last year.

The annual Christmas Price Index compiled by PNC Wealth Management, attributes the jump to the rising price of partridges (who knew?!), pear trees and turtle doves. 

The price of maids-a-milking, ladies dancing, lords-a-leaping and gold rings have remained steady.

So, IF you're in the market for 12 drummers drumming, 22 pipers piping, 30 lords-a-leaping, 36 ladies dancing, 40 maids-a-milking, 42 swans-a-swimming, 42 geese-a-laying, 40 gold rings, 36 calling birds, 30 French hens, 22 turtle doves, and 12 partridges in pear trees, brace yourself... 

The final tally to own all 364 items repeated across all the song's verses is a whopping $101,119 this year!
