The 2009 Christmas Price Index (CPI)

Pinched from Stephen Hicks, who’s been posting some cracking stuff lately . . .

12-days-pnc-253x200How much do the twelve days of Christmas cost this year?

Gold rings and maids-a-milking are up but swans-a-swimming and partridges are down.

Overall, the CPI shows only a 1.8% increase over last year.

Here is the charming, dramatized version, and here is the straight-up press release and chart [pdf].

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
