It's weirdly common in Denmark. People fly the national flag for birthdays, and some people even decorate the Christmas tree with flag guirlandes. It's seen as an act of celebration rather than patriotism.

OP sounds strange to me I feel like all Scandinavians have their flag a lot, on birthday cakes and for graduations and such. I definitely experienced this in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
Iceland, too. The flag is in a lot of places. On clothing/apparel, flying outside buildings, on signs, etc.
Yeah I see it all the time in Sweden. Not on cars so much but flagpoles and such especially when it is a nice day out
