6. D? Technically Bill Murray's character was only "Scrooge-Like" not actually Scrooge.

7. Buon Natale! I know La Befana leaves gifts in kids' shoes or stockings... Hmm. Urn of Fate?

8. A Bondi Beach picnic! It's hot down there at Christmas time. LOL

9. D. LMAO

10. Well...Irish tradition says to leave a loaf on the table to insure you have enough bread for the coming year. So I'll go with that. :-)

Hmmm.  I'm only going to answer number eight, because I can.  It's b. Technically I think it's more of a barbecue than a picnic for the Aussies I know, but I think that still makes b right.

For number seven, well, a is my favorite.

Number 9: d.
