On the first great song about Christmas commercialization

Somebody sent one of those Twelve Days of Christmas cost tallies to the wire services over the weekend. It seemed odd in that the cost this year was over $100,000 about five times what was reported last year. Anyway, it is strange to me that so many people take the gifts literally, when it always seemed to me even as a kid that it was a series of gifts of porcelain figurines, resulting in a very cluttered room somewhere rather than a whole estate overflowing with live birds and needing to prepare the grand ballroom for several days running for the dancers and musicians. The song is from the 1700's so the timing is right for figurines, and Wikipedia says you can interpret the five gold rings as ring-necked pheasants or some such. If you don't like pheasants you could substitute porcelain napkin rings. In all, not a cheap set of gifts, but not necessarily $100,000 worth either.
