    The gifts weren’t given recursively. Though Christmas would be a lot more exciting if they were.

      It’s literally what the song says. On the first day, I got a partridge in a pear tree. On the second day, I got 2 turtle doves and a partridge in a pair tree.

      If you think the gifts weren’t given recursively it’s because you believe it should be that way, not because you’re paying any attention to the lyrics as they’re written.
