(UNDATED) - The Twelve Days of Christmas is not getting any cheaper.
Pittsburgh-based PNC Wealth Management has again calculated the cost of all the gifts mentioned in the iconic holiday song.
This year, your true love would have to drop more than $27,673 to buy you everything on the list.
That's $280 more than last year.
