If you received all the gifts in the song Twelve Days of Christmas how many gifts will you get?

Answer 1

If you received all the gifts as stated in the song for each day, you would actually have 364 gifts:

Partridges: 1 × 12 = 12

(one each day for 12 days)

Doves: 2 × 11 = 22

(two each day for 11 days)

Hens 3 × 10 = 30

Calling birds: 4 × 9 = 36

Golden rings: 5 × 8 = 40

Geese: 6 × 7 = 42

Swans: 7 × 6 = 42

Maids: 8 × 5 = 40

Ladies: 9 × 4 = 36

Lords: 10 × 3 = 30

Pipers: 11 × 2 = 22

Drummers: 12 × 1 = 12

Total = 364

Answer 2

It sort of depends on how you count things.

If each is considered a unit (a partridge in a pear tree as one) You would receive 364 gifts.

If you count up the associated items differently you can add quite a few:

12 Partridges

12 Pear Trees

22 Turtle Doves

30 French Hens

36 Calling Birds

40 Golden Rings

42 Geese

42 Swans

40 Maids

40 Cows being milked by the maids (And add 40 stools and 40 buckets!)

36 Ladies

30 Lords

22 Pipers

22 Flutes

12 Drummers

12 Drums

Comes to 530
