Cumulative 12 Days of Christmas Gifts

I've wanted to this for MANY years, but never had gotten around to it. I'm sure there are other things online, but I wanted to do it myself.

If cumulative . . . what you end up having each day . . . (not what you get each day)

Day 1 - a partridge in a pear tree

Day 2 - two partridges in two pear trees, two turtle doves

Day 3 - three partridges in three pear trees, four turtle doves, three French hens

Day 4 - four partridges in three pear trees, six turtle doves, six French hens, four calling birds

Day 5 - five partridges in five pear trees, eight turtle doves, nine French hens, eight calling birds, five golden rings

Day 6 - six partridges in six pear trees, ten turtle doves, twelve French hens, twelve calling birds, ten golden rings, six geese a-laying

Day 7 - seven partridges in seven pear trees, twelve turtle doves, fifteen French hens, sixteen calling birds, fifteen golden rings, twelve geese a-laying, seven swans a-swimming

Day 8 - eight partridges in eight pear trees, fourteen turtle doves, eighteen French hens, twenty calling birds, twenty golden rings, eighteen geese a-laying, fourteen swans a-swimming, eight maids a-milking

Day 9 - nine partridges in nine pear trees, sixteen turtle doves, twenty-one French hens, twenty-four calling birds, twenty-five golden rings, twenty-four geese a-laying, twenty-one swans a-swimming, sixteen maids a-milking, nine ladies dancing

Day 10 - ten partridges in ten pear trees, eighteen turtle doves, twenty-four French hens, twenty-eight calling birds, thirty golden rings, thirty geese a-laying, twenty-eight swans a-swimming, twenty-four maids a-milking, eighteen ladies dancing, ten lords a-leaping

Day 11 - eleven partridges in eleven pear trees, twenty turtle doves, twenty-seven French hens, thrity-two calling birds, thirty-five golden rings, thirty-six geese a-laying, thirty-five swans a-swimming, thirty-two maids a-milking, twenty-seven ladies dancing, twenty lords a-leaping, 11 pipers piping

Day 12 - twelve partridges in twelve pear trees, twenty-two turtle doves, thirty French hens, thirty-six calling birds, forty golden rings, forty-two geese a-laying, forty-two swans a-swimming, forty maids a-milking, thirty-six ladies dancing, thiry lords a-leaping, 22 pipers piping, 12 drummers drumming

So, you probably end up with 12 trees, 184 birds, 40 pieces of jewelry, 140 people, 40 cows, and 34 instruments.
