Hang in there

It's the Sixth Day of Hanukkah, there are just a few more days to go

At this point you may want to skip the unnecessary calories and just drink the oil - but not too much. Mussolini used to use this as a torture for his political enemies.




Another reason Hanukkah feels better than Christmas - Yes, Rivka'le, there is no Santa Claus.

Can I interest you in Hannukah? -

Remember, so far there has been no barking dog version of I had a Little Dreidel. You might begin thinking about where you are going to store your Hanukkah decorations? (I don't mean to insinuate that you aren't normally observant. Perhaps you proudly display your heirloom menorah in your living room. I can't be everywhere.)


Without any further ado, our second holiday feature today:

OK kids, PNC bank has reported that there is a large decrease in the true cost of Christmas in 2020, as this year’s index accounts for cancellations of many live performances. It’s a silent night at most symphonies and the lights have dimmed for many dancers this holiday season, which contributes to the year-over-year decline. In the 37th year of their survey, PNC has found that the 12 items come out to a grand total of $16,168.14, a $22,825.45 decrease from last year. There was some increase this year's CPI prices, driven by the cost increases for gold, the geese-a-laying, and turtle doves. The wages for the ladies dancing, Lords-a-Leaping, pipers piping and drummers drumming, could not be calculated due to COVID restrictions.



These prices are, of course, just for one verse of the song. If you add up the total cost of all the items from the entire song (what PNC Wealth Management calls “The True Cost of Christmas”) it would add up to $105,561.80, down 38% from last year, given the exclusion of live performances.

So it stands to reason that today's holiday theme is - The Twelve Days Of Christmas
