Would this basically be triangle numbers? So on Christmas Eve you would open 300 windows?Tommyds (talk) 16:01, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

Yes and no. It's not 12 days of Christmas (as mentioned in the title text), so only the overall number of gifts are a triangle number; you open 30 windows on Christmas Day. The 12 days ref is key as the song generates more gifts if taken literally even in 12 days -- 78 on the last day, 66 on the previous day, etc, for a total of 364.

Notice that this year The Advent calendars are correct. Normally, Advent calendars start at the 1st of December even if the Advent starts at a different day. But this year the Advent also starts at the 1st of December. 162.158.172.40 16:55, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
