It is important not to mistake the edge of a rut for the horizon!

Is it seemly for a foreigner to wish an American a Happy Birthday? I'm not sure if I'm supposed to take an interest, since I don't have a vote.
Happy Birthday anyway, as you're so young.

Quakers DO have birthdays, just like everyone else. They're just not interested in the celebration part.
Happy Birthday, Jack.

I was gonna say...this sounds quite a bit more
severe than all the Philly Quakers I know... never heard of this before.
& a Happy Birthday, too

And yes, Birthday good wishes to you from me as well Jack! You share a birthday with a very good High School friend of mine who happens to be a professional classical bassoonist.
I, too, am curious: What is the reason Quakers don't celebrate birthdays?
I had a workplace acquaintance years ago who was a Jehovah's Witness, and she adamantly defied the whole birthday/holiday thing. Same reason? Different reason? I specifically recall her always taking a "holiday" on Halloween to avoid the whole "The reason I'm not wearing a costume today ..." thing.
So? What gives?
