Individual birthdays aren't celebrated in "The Giver" because the community values sameness and conformity. Recognizing individual birthdays would go against their belief in uniformity and limit the control the community has over its members. Celebrating birthdays could also lead to jealousy or competition, which goes against their principles of harmony.
In the society depicted in "The Giver" by Lois Lowry, people stop celebrating birthdays at the age of Twelve. This is when they are assigned their adult roles in the community and begin their training for their designated professions.
In "The Giver," all members of the community celebrate their birthdays on December 31st. This is the day when everyone ages by one year, rather than on their individual birth dates.
