So your assignment for today's blog is simple. How many total presents will you need to purchase? How much will it all cost you? Of the twelve presents purchased, which one is your favorite and why? You will need to do some web searching and a calculator is probably a good idea. Remember to proofread!
On a more serious note, some of you seem to think that posting is optional. It is not. Proper posting is required. You can not earn your full daily class grade if you do not post, or if your post is not up to standards. So make it simple and do it.
About 73 for each person. It will cost to much. None of the them because I just don`t know.

I personally like the golden rings because I could melt that down and get a gold bar.
ReplyDeleteThere are 364 items repeated in the songs verse. All together they would cost $101,119. I definitely would want the golden rings. Who would want french hens or "lords-a-leaping"? The rings are the best gifts in the song.
ReplyDeleteThis Christmas I will need to purchase about 364 items. I will need about 100,000 to but all this gifts that I'm getting. My favorite one will be the xbox 360 that I'm getting.!:)
ReplyDeleteIn the song "The Tweleve Days Of Christmas" there was 364 total of present all together! After buying all those presents it would ring up to about 211,792!!! My favorite present out of the song is the golden rings and doves. One reason is because I like shiny objects and doves are peaceful!
ReplyDeleteThe total would be 364 items needed to buy for Christmas. The cost would be over $100,000. It would be quite an expensive gift for the holidays, considering how many presents and the total cost of it all.
ReplyDeleteI look and didn't find it. Sarah's looks pretty good. from sarah's i guess it cost 96,824.29 or 137,851.70
ReplyDeleteIt would cost you about $96,824.24
ReplyDeleteThe total:
About 364 total.
My favorite of the twelve presents is the two turtle doves. The reason I like the two turtle doves is because they represent friendship and doves are supposed to be peaceful.
The amount of items is 364.
ReplyDeleteThe cost of these items are $100,000. My favorit is drummers because i dont want all those brids.(some one must love you alot to buy you all that)(WOW)
There are a total of 364 items repeated across all the song. The total price of ALL those items would come up to be a little bit above 100k. My favorite gift out of the items is the golden rings because I could sell them.

some of the things that you would get don`t realy make sense like calling birds and geese. Why wuold you get her those things you can`t do anything with those.
ReplyDeleteBlake Walker
There will be about 364 items. I will need at least 100,000 for all these gifts then wrap them up. But that a lot of money to spend.
ReplyDeleteThe total would be 364 presents. They would cost... a lot. My choice out of all of them will probably be the golden rings.
ReplyDeleteMegan
Well, as everyone else already said, there would be a total of 364 gifts. The amount cannot be estimated seeing as there is not a set about of money to buy each item, and you can't but ladies or lords. I like the Partridge in the pear tree, because the rest of the song is just annoying, and I like pears.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone were to buy all the things listed in the song, it'd be 364 items all together. It would be a total of over 100 thousand dollars. So, I don't think anyone really would want to spend all the time and money on a couple of lousy gifts. My favorite gift is the turtle-dove because it's cool.
ReplyDeleteIf I was to purchase that stuff, I would be spending a lot of money. And i wonder who would actually use all of that stuff. I never really thought about the price of this stuff before. But I would definitely buy the golden rings.
ReplyDeleteIn all that is 364 presents. Im too broke for all of that. That is over 1,000 dollars. Nobody is that special. The gift I would want of course would be the diamond rings. Diamonds are a girls bestfriend!
ReplyDeleteTheir are a total of 364 items in the twelve days of Christmas. To buy everything in the song it would cost $101119. And the gift i would want the most would be the 5 gold rings.

I think it will cost a lot to purchase all of these gifts and hand them out like some candy. According to Zabinski it will be 364 total.
ReplyDelete-Quinton Walters
Well all together there will be 364 gifts(Thanks to "Zabinski"). That'll be way too much pay for.
ReplyDeleteI personally like the golden rings. I would have 40 gold rings, that's enough for all my fingers and toes and a friend's toes and fingers.

In the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas" there are 364 total presents. If you bought all of those presents it would come to $101,119. Now that's a little to much!
ReplyDelete~Morgan McKinney~
364 presents total & $137,851.70. That's a bit much. I'd like to receive the five gold rings because they're valuable and if I didn't like them I could just sell them. My question is this: Are they rings that you put on your fingers, or are they just really big rings like hoola hoops?
ReplyDelete-Erin Holtz
The total is 364, and my favorite gift would be the 5 golden rings. Why? Because i mean come on it's golden rings. Now the amount would be way to much in today's time.

ReplyDeleteWell Before "Zabanski" ruined it for me, I was guessing that all together there would be around 72-74. Not so much.. 364 presents all together. That is a lot of presents, even for your spouse, and at $137,851.. Not in my price range. If anything, I would ask for number 5's, yeah boy.
ReplyDeleteIt is 364 gifts, and it would cost somewhere around 100,000 or over. Christmas is expensive. :/
