It's not 78 as some people say, it's 364 because it's an accumulative song with each verse building on the last. The first verse has 1 gift, the second verse has 2 + 1 gifts. The third verse has 3 + 2 + 1 gifts etc until the last verse which has 12 + 11 + 10 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1. Thereby giving a total of 364 gifts.
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

I've heard several different versions of the song, mixing up which gifts were given on which days. The version with which I'm most familiar includes twelve drummers, eleven pipers, ten lords, nine ladies and eight maids, totaling 50 humans mentioned. But that's just on the twelfth day. If, for example, eight different maids a-milking were given on each of the ninth through twelfth days, the total would be...12 + 2 * 11 + 3 * 10 + 9 * 4 + 8 * 5= 12 + 22 + 30 + 36 + 40= 140That's a lot of people to be giving as gifts. I hope they went willingly. ;)
