I'm a yearly festival with origins in Rome, named after a god of the times. I take place near Christmas, questions exist, as many traditions are almost the same. What is the five-day long Roman gift giving festival?

Part of eight, which used to be nine. Name represents spring farming, to encourage a healthy reaping. While a ball of hot cause, even once thought a star, my ice rings are always present.

A place for a man to take a step, or for mankind to take a giant leap.

Often depicted as a oval faced little green man But sometimes also as an Englishman in New York

Beside the road but made for feet, I’m smoother ground for calm retreat. Paved or tiled, I edge the way A safer stretch for your next day. What am I?
