Really? No birthdays? Not even a "Happy Birthday, I'm glad you were born 8/9/10 years ago on this day" to your kids? Why not?

LOL! No. I'm just wondering what your reasons are. My Dad didn't celebrate Christmas, but he sure did want birthday presents and cake.

Cake, I can have anytime I want. No need for any frills.

You can't talk about Christmas and not digress to spending money. It just doesn't work, Brother!

Yeah...but you didn't answer my questions!!!
Do your kids ask about birthdays? What do you tell them, if anything? What are your scriptural reasons, if any?
I'm just curious. Not in attack mode.

No particular reason, and we tell the girls that they are older when the years pass. Everyday is a special day for them. My wife and I like it that way.
