The 12 Days of Christmas (And data, too)

One particularly generous and creative true love was made famous in the classic English carol The 12 Days of Christmas for lavishing his sweetheart with a lengthy list of gifts. According to the PNC Christmas Price Index, the real cost of the presents is up 7.7% this year to a whopping $27,393.13. But that’s if you can even find these obscure goodies. While debate over the song’s true meaning lingers, we thought it would be fun to explore a modern look at the carol’s lyrics. We hope you enjoy the visualization below, and from all of us here at GoodData, have a wonderful holiday season and New Year.
