So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

The Flag Company Inc And Bali Flag History Today

By Mike James


It's certain that Bali has been populated since early prehistoric times, but the oldest human artifacts found are 3000-year-old stone tools and earthenware vessels from Cekik. Not much is known of Bali during the period when Indian traders brought Hinduism to the Indonesian archipelago, but the earliest written records are stone inscriptions dating from around the 9th century.

The discovery of stone tools in the north of Bali suggests that people have inhabited Bali since Neolithic times. Neolithic refers to a period in history relating to the late Stone Age. It is characterized by the development of agricultural tools and implements. It is thought Bali was settled in around 3000 - 2500 BC.

Bali was inhabited by around 2000 BC by Austronesian peoples who migrated originally from Taiwan through Maritime Southeast Asia. Culturally and linguistically, the Balinese are thus closely related to the peoples of the Indonesian archipelago, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Oceania.

Little is known of the Bali flag, other than it is a provincial flag and not a civil flag. It is only flown within the governor's office, inside parliament buildings, and perhaps during provincial events. It is rumored that the all Indonesian provinces have similar flags with their separate coats of arms adorning them that were designed using official government specs. While there is no law forbidding the use of the Bali flag by ordinary citizens, it is not often used by the general public.

As an Indonesian region, Bali actually flies under the red and white banner of Indonesia, which is known as the Sang Saka Merah Putih (The Red and White). This banner has two level groups, with red on top and white on the base. The red symbolizes courage while the white symbolizes the spiritual. The Indonesian banner was first flown on August seventeenth, 1945. The hues are adjusted from a banner flown in the thirteenth century amid the Majapahit Empire.

The banner was initially originated in Java in 1926 to protest Dutch manage, however, was banned for the rest of the Dutch occupation in Indonesia. There are unverified thoughts the present banner was really made when individuals from the Indonesian freedom development tore the base blue stripe from the dutch banner, leaving the red and white behind. The red and white banner from 1945 is named the Bendera Pusaka, which implies legacy, and is still safeguarded. Flag Company Inc decided to assist with the history development by providing special decals and banners to make it easy to build a bit of history right at home.
