10 maids in a Christmas carol??? It can't be, because there are 8 Maids a Milking, not 10, in "The 12 Days of Christmas"
In the song "Twelve Days of Christmas" a person is gifted with many legged creatures. In fact, in only one departure from living creatures does the gift giver give the receiver a non-legged item, the 5 golden rings. In total, the number of legs that are given to the receiver in the song is 648. There is an argument to be made that as the eight maids were "a'milking" then you should include the cows legs, which would make it 808 legs. The maids would be sitting on three legged stools. If those are also included the total would be 928 legs!
In the song "The twelve days of Christmas" my true love gave to me a total of 78 things.
Apparel, let alone footwear, does not figure in the song ( The twelve days of Christmas) all-up there are 78 gifts in the song, quantitatively. 78 is the number for Platinum on the periodic table of the elements.

In the twelve days of Christmas there are 359 heads because if you count the all of the gifts then take away the rings you get 359. But if you were counting the heads of the cows that the maids were milking it would be 367 (You just add 8)
It's "9 lords-a-leaping".

On the eighth day of Christmas, your true love gave to you, eight maids a-milking. This is a line from a popular Christmas song called "The 12 Days of Christmas."
