You know of course that it was really much worse! as:-

ON DAY ONE, THE CHARACTER IN THE SONG GETS A SINGLE PRESENT (A PARTRIDGE IN A PEAR TREE). BUT ON DAY TWO, THE BENEFICIARY RECEIVES A NEW PRESENT (A PAIR OF TURTLE DOVES) PLUS ANOTHER PARTRIDGE IN A PEAR TREE. DAY THREE BRINGS A SECOND HELPING OF DAY TWO'S GIFTS, PLUS MORE NEW ITEMS (THREE FRENCH HENS). THIS CARRIES ON ALL THE WAY TO THE TWELFTH DAY WHEN 12 DRUMMERS DRUMMING, AND NEW COPIES OF ALL THE PREVIOUS DAY'S GIFTS ARE RECEIVED

The total becomes 264!!
