One of my favorite Christmas songs is the 12 Days of Christmas.
My Mystery Question for today is related to that song…
If you received ALL of the presents mentioned in the song… how many presents would you receive in total!?
1 Partridge in a pear tree X 12 days = 12
2 Turtle Doves X 11 days = 22
3 French Hens X 10 days = 30
4 Calling Birds X 9 days = 36
5 Golden Rings X 8 days = 40
6 Geese-a-laying X 7 days = 42
7 Swans a Swimming X 6 days = 42
8 Maids a Milking X 5 days = 40
9 Ladies Dancing X 4 days = 36
10 Lords a Leaping X 3 days = 30
11 Pipers Piping X 2 = 22
12 Drummers Drumming X 1 day = 12
12+22+30+36+40+42+42+40+36+30+22+12= 364 gifts.
Without counting the multiple times the gifts are mentioned, it would cost $34,363.49.
Counting the multiple mentions, it would cost $156,507.88.
So if you’re looking for gift ideas this Christmas… this is probably not it.
