Let’s count each item carefully, one by one.
We are counting:
- Stockings
- Gifts (presents)
- Candies
- Ornaments (round balls with patterns)
- Reindeer heads
- Mittens
---
Step 1: Count the stockings
Look for all the Christmas stockings in the top part of the page.
I see:
- One near top left
- One near top right
- One in middle row, center
- One in bottom row, right side
- One more? Let me check again…
Actually, let’s list them clearly:
Top row:
- Left: gift → not stocking
- Next: stocking ✔
- Then reindeer → no
- Candy → no
- Ornament → no
- Right: stocking ✔ → that’s 2 so far
Second row:
- Mitten → no
- Candy → no
- Ornament → no
- Stocking ✔ → that’s 3
- Candy → no
- Ornament → no
Third row:
- Mitten → no
- Gift → no
- Candy → no
- Ornament → no
- Stocking ✔ → that’s 4
- Ornament → no
Fourth row:
- Ornament → no
- Candy → no
- Gift → no
- Reindeer → no
Wait — I think I missed one. Let me go row by row from top to bottom, left to right.
Row 1 (topmost):
1. Gift
2. Stocking ✔ #1
3. Reindeer
4. Candy
5. Ornament
6. Stocking ✔ #2
Row 2:
7. Mitten
8. Candy
9. Ornament
10. Stocking ✔ #3
11. Candy
12. Ornament
Row 3:
13. Mitten
14. Gift
15. Candy
16. Ornament
17. Stocking ✔ #4
18. Ornament
Row 4:
19. Ornament
20. Candy
21. Gift
22. Reindeer
That’s only 4? But wait — look at the very bottom row of items before the answer boxes — is there another?
Actually, looking again — in row 3, after the ornament at position 18, is there a stocking? No.
Wait — maybe I miscounted. Let me try a different way: circle each stocking as I find it.
Start over:
Top area:
- Top-left: gift
- Below that: mitten
- Below that: mitten
- Below that: ornament
Now move right:
Next column:
- Top: stocking ✔ #1
- Below: candy
- Below: gift
- Below: candy
Next column:
- Top: reindeer
- Below: ornament
- Below: candy
- Below: ornament
Next column:
- Top: candy
- Below: stocking ✔ #2
- Below: ornament
- Below: gift
Next column:
- Top: ornament
- Below: candy
- Below: stocking ✔ #3
- Below: reindeer
Last column (far right):
- Top: stocking ✔ #4
- Below: ornament
- Below: stocking ✔ #5 ← Ah! Here’s the fifth one! In row 3, far right — yes, there’s a stocking there.
So total stockings = 5
✔ Confirmed: 5 stockings
---
Step 2: Count the gifts (presents)
Gifts are wrapped boxes with bows.
Find them:
Row 1: first item → gift ✔ #1
Row 3: second item → gift ✔ #2
Row 4: third item → gift ✔ #3
Any others?
Check again:
Top row: only one gift on far left.
Middle rows: in row 3, between two mittens? Wait — row 3: mitten, then gift, then candy... yes.
Bottom row: ornament, candy, gift, reindeer — yes, that’s the third.
Is there a fourth? Look at row 2: no gifts. Row 1: only one. Row 3: one. Row 4: one. Total = 3
✔ Gifts = 3
---
Step 3: Count the candies
Candies are round with twisted wrappers or striped.
List them:
Row 1: fourth item → candy ✔ #1
Row 2: second item → candy ✔ #2; fifth item → candy ✔ #3
Row 3: third item → candy ✔ #4
Row 4: second item → candy ✔ #5
Also, row 2: sixth item? No, that’s ornament.
Wait — row 1: positions: 1=gift, 2=stocking, 3=reindeer, 4=candy, 5=ornament, 6=stocking → so candy at #4
Row 2: 1=mitten, 2=candy, 3=ornament, 4=stocking, 5=candy, 6=ornament → candies at #2 and #5 → that’s two more → total 3 so far
Row 3: 1=mitten, 2=gift, 3=candy, 4=ornament, 5=stocking, 6=ornament → candy at #3 → total 4
Row 4: 1=ornament, 2=candy, 3=gift, 4=reindeer → candy at #2 → total 5
Is there a sixth? What about row 2, position 5 — already counted.
Wait — in row 1, is there another candy? No.
But look — in row 3, after the stocking, is there a candy? No.
Wait — actually, in row 2, position 5 is candy — yes.
And row 4, position 2 is candy — yes.
Total: 5 candies? Let me recount visually:
Imagine scanning left to right, top to bottom:
1. Row 1, col 4 → candy
2. Row 2, col 2 → candy
3. Row 2, col 5 → candy
4. Row 3, col 3 → candy
5. Row 4, col 2 → candy
Yes — 5 candies.
But wait — in the original image description, sometimes people miss one. Let me double-check.
Alternative method: group by type.
Candies:
- Top row: one (between reindeer and ornament)
- Second row: two (after mitten, and after stocking)
- Third row: one (after gift)
- Fourth row: one (after ornament)
Total: 1+2+1+1 = 5
✔ Candies = 5
---
Step 4: Count the ornaments
Ornaments are round baubles with zigzag or swirl patterns.
Find them:
Row 1: fifth item → ornament ✔ #1
Row 2: third item → ornament ✔ #2; sixth item → ornament ✔ #3
Row 3: fourth item → ornament ✔ #4; sixth item → ornament ✔ #5
Row 4: first item → ornament ✔ #6
Also, row 3: is there another? Position 4 and 6 — yes.
Row 4: first item is ornament — yes.
Is there a seventh? Row 2: positions 3 and 6 — done.
Row 1: only one.
What about row 3, position 4 and 6 — that’s two.
Row 4: position 1 — one.
Total: 1 (row1) + 2 (row2) + 2 (row3) + 1 (row4) = 6
Wait — row 3 has two ornaments? Yes: after candy, and after stocking.
Row 4: first item is ornament — yes.
But let’s list:
1. Row 1, col 5
2. Row 2, col 3
3. Row 2, col 6
4. Row 3, col 4
5. Row 3, col 6
6. Row 4, col 1
Yes — 6 ornaments.
✔ Ornaments = 6

Step 5: Count the reindeer heads
Reindeer have antlers and noses.
Find them:
Row 1: third item → reindeer ✔ #1
Row 4: fourth item → reindeer ✔ #2
Any others?
Row 2: no
Row 3: no
Only two.
✔ Reindeer = 2
---
Step 6: Count the mittens
Mittens are glove-shaped.
Find them:
Row 2: first item → mitten ✔ #1
Row 3: first item → mitten ✔ #2
Any others?
Row 1: no
Row 4: no
Only two.
✔ Mittens = 2

That’s only 4? But wait — look at the very bottom row of items before the answer boxes — is there another?
Actually, looking again — in row 3, after the ornament at position 18, is there a stocking? No.
Wait — maybe I miscounted. Let me try a different way: circle each stocking as I find it.
Start over:
Top area:
- Top-left: gift
