364
First the partridges, each day for 12 days he gives 1 so 12 in total, then the turtle doves are 2 for 11 days so 22
So it is
1 x 12 + 2 x 11 + 3 x 10 etc.
1 X 12 = 12
2 X 11 = 22
3 X 10 = 30
4 X 9 = 36
5 X 8 = 40
6 X 7 = 42
7 X 6 = 42
8 X 5 = 40
9 X 4 = 36
10 X 3 = 30
11 X 2 = 22
12 X 1 = 12
Which total 364 and what she gets the most of are days 6 and 7 which are the geese a laying and swans a swimming.

In Italy today, Epiphany, is the day when the Befana, an elderly woman, often displayed like a witch riding a broomstick, leaves gifts and sweets for good children and lumps of coal for the bad ones. It is more or less the equivalent of Santa and the Christmas stockings ![[Linked Image]](https://dimages2.corriereobjects.it/uploads/2025/01/03/6777bd2590c7f.jpeg)
