Reincarnation is a belief that soul never dies even after real death. Soul survives physical death, and is reborn into a new physical life, the passing of the soul from one body to the next. We are born again and again to confront and perfect our Karma. To know the laws of action and reaction so instinctively and purely, that we never transgress them, is true enlightenment. At that point, our souls are free of Karma, and free to join with "The One" in a state of Nirvana. The soul is entrapped in what is called the wheel of birth and rebirth and this is what is called karma; one must come back to pay off their debts in the next lifetime. Ones present condition on earth was determined by their previous actions in their former life.

The Eastern religions of Buddhism and Hinduism always believed reincarnation, but the ancient Egyptians and Greeks, native North and South Americans, and the Aboriginal peoples of Australia also traditionally hold this belief.

Father Christmas also known as Santa Claus is the heart and soul of Christmas celebration. An old jolly man with white hair, a beard and a moustache, dressed in a red suit, bearing gifts. Prior to 1880 Santa was not dressed in red he evolved into  the image we know today after being introduction by Coca Cola during the 1930s. He has become the human face of Christmas all around the world.

The Story of Father Christmas: Father Christmas was originally part of an old English midwinter festival, normally dressed in green, a sign of the returning spring. He was known as 'Sir Christmas', 'Old Father Christmas' or Old Winter'. In this earliest form, Father Christmas was not the bringer of gifts for small children, nor did he come down the chimney. He simply wandered around from home to home, knocking on doors and feasting with families before moving on to the next house.

The Solar System is the collection of nine planets that orbit our Sun. Apart from planets it also contains moons, comets, asteroids, minor planets, and dust and gas. The first thing to notice is that the solar system is mostly empty space. The planets are very small compared to the space between them.  The nine planets are:

1.      Mercury: This is the closest planet to the Sun and the eighth largest. It was sometimes given separate names for its apparitions as a morning star and as an evening star. Temperature variations on Mercury are the most extreme in the solar system ranging from 90 K to 700 K. Mercury is the second densest major body in the solar system, after Earth. Mercury has no known satellites. Mercury is often visible with binoculars or even the unaided eye, but it is always very near the Sun and difficult to see in the twilight sky.

2.      Venus: Venus is the second planet from the Sun and the sixth largest. Venus' orbit is the most nearly circular of that of any planet. It is the brightest object in the sky except for the Sun and the Moon. Venus has many similarities with earth. Venus is only slightly smaller than Earth (95% of Earth's diameter, 80% of Earth's mass). Both have few craters indicating relatively young surfaces. Their densities and chemical compositions are similar. Venus has no satellites, and thereby hangs a tale. Venus is usually visible with the unaided eye. Sometimes (inaccurately) referred to as the "morning star" or the "evening star", it is by far the brightest "star" in the sky.

Summer Celebrations are coming, hooray!

Now that summer is coming how will you celebrate it? Well l love just going to for a BBQ with family and friends (if they dare to come along, lol). I pack everything up including the kids and we go out. I do this so a) my husband can cook, b) my house does not get dirty and c) the kids can go crazy somewhere else. It works a treat you should try it. Here's now it goes.....

Mental note: 4 July coming up what should we do?

• Well l do not want to cook!

Ok, so husband cooks BBQ

• I do not want to clean the house

We can go to a park that has a BBQ

• The kids need to run around

We can go to a park that has a BBQ and game for the kids! Plus if they run around all day they will then sleep all night, bonus!

• I want to have some fun

Invite my girlfriends so we can gossip and drink a chardy while the men cook and the in-laws look after the kids.

Now that was easy. But remember girls you have to make it so your partner's think they thought of this great idea themselves (if you know what l mean) and it's a win-win situation!
