Fair enough, thanks for answering. Isn't there a religious group that doesn't celebrate birthdays? Jehovah's Witnesses or 7th Day Adventists?
Maybe it's Mormons. I don't remember. I do remember going to my cousin's house as a kid and asking for a Coke, only to hear him gasp in shock, and say that it was a sin to drink caffeine. His dad was (is) a priest in the Mormon church. They have great family values, though. I don't think any of them miss the things that they abstain from.
