Well done (though actually wrong for the 2nd part) ... my source for this is a little more reliable than the internet, so I'm fairly sure it's accurate. The 2nd part was a bit of a trick question as it was a rather particular Christmas.

10. Wolsey kept a very grand house, having an establishment of 500 - about the same size as that of the King. During Christmas 1525, described as "The Still Christmas", Henry's Christmas celebrations were very quietly kept whereas the cardinal's were characterised by a vast and ostentatious display. In general Henry was not a particularly ostentatious King, though ornate celebrations, such as jousts and masques, were a feature of court life.

Only No.7 left ... any takers???
