Special occasions such as birthdays and religious festivals connect us with our families and our culture. We know on such occasions that our heritage, our culture, and the members of our family are important. Status with a culture defines our place in society, but a special occasion makes us important in our closer world.
A child first learns that she is important when the family celebrates her birthday. It is a day that is celebrated for no other reason than she came into the world. This occasion defines her place in her family and also reinforces her place in her world. Other people may wish her a happy birthday, but her family celebrates her importance even before she does anything that the world would celebrate.
Any celebration defines the importance of a holiday to ourselves. A holiday that is not celebrated loses its value simply by ignoring it. The loss relegates it to "just another day" and a bit of a cultural history is lost.
