Let me see if I understand this right...
You celebrate events far in the past that nobody remembers. You celebrate a calendar determining the end of a year every year. You not only know exactly which day every baby was born on, but you celebrate the day of your birth and the days of other people's every. single. year.
I get why you'd honor the collective past-- that shapes today. But I don't get the arbitrary celebrations of everything that's ever occurred.
