Step 1 : Introduction to the question "9. Complete the lyrics for the famous Christmas song, "The Twelve Days of Christmas": "___ maids a-milking...""
...1. 6 2. 8 3. 10 4. 9 The last line of the song goes like this: "On the twelfth day of Christmas My true love gave to me Twelve drummers drumming, Eleven pipers piping, Ten lords-a-leaping, Nine ladies dancing, Eight maids a-milking, Seven swans-a-swimming, Six geese-a-laying, Five golden rings, Four calling birds, Three French hens, Two turtle doves, And a partridge in a pear tree."

"MAD" magazine once published a really funny feature that speculated the effects of being gifted such presents in the modern world.
