Actually, using the flag at birthdays is an exclusively Danish thing. When I, a Swede, first came to Denmark I was super provoked by it and saw it as an other one of Denmarks oblivious ways of being racist. I utterly dislike flags and anything that smells of nationalism. They are connected to war, sports thugs and racists. They include some people at the behest of others. I feel no pride in my flag whatsoever and I'm not ashamed to say it.
