The Twelve Days of Christmas and Inflation

I happened to click on this article this morning and found an interesting statistic.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2012/11/26/12-days-of-christmas-107k/1726807/

"And if you get all 364 items repeated throughout "The Twelve Days of Christmas" carol, you'll pay 6.1% more this year, according to the so-called "[C]hristmas Price Index" that PNC Wealth Management updates annually."

The CPI claims inflation is 2% this year.  Although the article doesn't explicity state it this article provides more proof that the government's CPI (Consumer Price Index) is a B.S. way of measuring inflation.
