No. Though Paganism is the oldest faith in the world we celebrate 8 holy days a year, plus moon phases. November 1st (Samhain), December 21st (Yule/Christmas), February 1st (Imbolc), March 21st (Spring), May 1st (Beltane/Easter), June 21st (Summer), August 1st (Lughnasadh) and September 21st (Fall). So Christian celebrations that correspond to those dates tend to be Pagan bases, though they have been adapted to fit the Christian faith.

Who composed happy birthday to you?
'Happy Birthday' is based upon a song and tune called 'Good Morning To All', which was written and composed by two American sisters Patty Hill and Mildred J. Hill in 1893, who were teachers.
Now, as to who put the words 'Happy Birthday' to the tune, nobody is sure. The song 'Happy Birthday' first appeared in print around 1912, but it was not credited or copyrighted to anyone.
Now, we come to the interesting part, the Summy Company registered the song for copyright in 1935, crediting the authors as P.W. Orem and Mrs. R.R. Forman, in 1990, Warner Records bought the Summy Company, and the copyright to the song 'Happy Birthday'. Warner claims that US. copyright will not expire until 2030, while the European copyright expires in 2016, and that all unauthorized public performances of the song are technically illegal unless royalties are paid to it. Which has lead to some heavyweight legal opinions being expressed.
So, don't worry about singing the song, as the copyright is technically unenforceable, and Warner would not want the bad publicity that would go with it.
According to The Guinness Book of Records, 'Happy Birthday' is the worlds most recognized song in the English language.
