If you would get all 364 items repeated throughout "The Twelve Days of Christmas" song, you'll pay 6.1 percent more this year, according to the so-called Christmas Price Index that PNC Wealth Management updates annually. That comes to $107,300. Uh..wow.

Thrifty shoppers may find some reasons for cheer. Six items mentioned in the song haven't gone up in price: maids-a-milking, ladies dancing, lords-a-leaping, calling birds, turtle doves and the partridge. The eight maids-a-milking still cost just $58 because the minimum wage hasn't risen. Well, I don't know if that's a good thing, or a bad thing....

Check out how much the cost has gone up on all the items in the classic Christmas carol, and just be glad you're not trying to find 6 maids-a-milking this Christmas!

Fa la la la la la la la la!
