Question about those pesky 12 days of Christmas...

[GreenWave]

Do you have to keep giving the same gifts as the day before?
For example; on the sixth day of Christmas my true love gave to me 6 geese a laying, five golden rings??? etc.

So "I" get five golden rings on the fifth day AND five more golden rings on the sixth day and so on?

Just asking in case after all these many years, my secret true love finally shows up...
