Where in scripture are we directed to celebrate anyone's birthday?

Especially since no one's birth date is ever mentioned...

I don't believe we are directed to celebrate anyone's birthday.

also, interesting is the Statue of Liberty origin.

To question is to value the ideal of truth more highly than the loyalties to nation, religion, race, or ideology.

You are directed to celebrate my birthday. : )

I would like a Roku, some new seat covers, a bit of wine, some song, a season snowboard pass, some dark Belgian chocolates, olive oil and some duct tape.

Regardless of it's pagan origins, I still enjoy the Christmas season. I even went to Advent services at church in the evenings as a kid. It was all a big part of my childhood.

A few weeks ago, I read that an estimated 7B would be pissed away on Christmas presents this year.

Last year Mrs.L's family finally saw the light and decided to draw names, and to limit the price of that one person's gift to $50.

Happy Winter Solstice. The 23.5 degree tilt in Earth’s axis of rotation creates a rise and fall appearance of the sun over the course of a year. During the winter solstice, the Northern Hemisphere is pointed at its furthest distance from the sun, bringing less light and colder temperatures. The winter solstice occurs at a specific time, not just day. This year, at 12:11 p.m. EST on Saturday, Dec. 21, the sun shone directly over the Tropic of Capricorn, the farthest south the sun reaches. In the Southern Hemisphere, it was the longest day of the year.

So then what happens? After the solstice occurs, days grow longer for north of the equator, as the sun appears farther above the horizon. This movement culminates in the longest day of the year on June 21.
