Decorated Christmas trees have been used in Germany since the 15th century. Invented by Boniface, an English missionary there in the eighth century. He then hung the spruce upside down on the ceiling to explain the trinity.
The first modern, documented indoor Christmas tree in Sweden is from 1740. At the end of the 19th century, it was common in most Swedish homes. Long ago, however, there were spruce shrubs that were put out on the farms' yards to keep evil creatures away. Even decorated twigs and trees indoors appeared early.
Christmas crackers or "smällkaramell" in Swedish. In this form as a common, reusable, Christmas decoration in Sweden since around 1870. Material: pleated silk tissue paper.

Flag garlands appeared in Finland in the 1860s (then under Russia), and are still quite popular in the Nordic countries.
Garlands with mixed flags of the various Nordic countries were common, then during a period of national romanticism, to strengthen the cohesion between the countries. There were also flags from other countries.
