im also have the same thought..in my country politicians,actors,actresses celebrate their birthday in a grand manner and spend lots and lot of money..instead of spending like tat i would suggest them to help the poor people..i think people are remembering the day they born on their birthday every year..

You celebrate your life. The day you were born.
