Question: How many total gifts are given in the “12 Days of Christmas” song?
Answer: 364, just one short of a gift for every day of the year. That includes 12 partridges, 22 turtle doves, 30 French hens, 36 calling birds, 40 gold rings, 42 geese a-laying, 42 swans a-swimming, 40 maids a-milking, 36 ladies dancing, 30 lords a-leaping, 22 pipers piping, and 12 drummers drumming. We hope the recipient has a very large house with strong foundations, a large pond, and excellent soundproofing!
