The True Cost of Christmas
Recommend on Google+
It’s here! PNC Wealth Management, have produced their 28th annual index of the true cost of Christmas, calculating the cost of giving of all the gifts in the Twelve Days of Christmas, and then the change in the price compared to last year, to give the annual rate of inflation for Christmas. This year they have an animated train ride that takes you through a snowy landscape, with various games on the way - the maids a-milking one is brilliant! The journey, and the links to information about how the index has fluctuated over the years and where on earth they find the prices of swans a-swimming or lords a-leaping needs a bit of investigation before you introduce it to a class, but is worth it and great fun for a Christmas lesson.
