I don't have a defined problem. I am simply asking you to either read those verses again, especially verses 3-5, or understand that birthdays are NOT mentioned nor implied in those texts.
How difficult is that? If you insist on harboring the opinion that a birthday was celebrated, then make that clear and live your opinion. That is your personal business, but don't imagine or create convenient renderings and interpretations for certain bible verses, unless you have solid references other than speculation.
If you plan to post speculative thoughts, be prepared to defend them!

listen, i'm at work, no bible handy. (a) its all speculation anyway and (b) i really don't care. BUT - I think there could be a basis to argue that it is referring to birthdays when it says "each on their own day" or something like that. What do YOU think its talking about?

Quo vadis secundum verbum:
Again, the days mentioned could have been any type of primitive, personal day with or without significance. If the verses do not specify, then the possibilities are numerous and wide open and NOT necessarily pointing strictly in the direction of birthdays.
Try typing those verses at:
