Huh. You know, I've never actually sat down to think about it. But personally, I believe a birthday is an excuse to celebrate the person in question - so probably the fact that they were born at all. And it's important because of the person who was born, and their relation to their friends and family. If someone's my friend, I'm happy to celebrate the fact that they exist.
