LOL Nice try. We are talking about commanded holy days. The Catholic Church goes one step beyond just allowing the celebration of anyone’s birth. It feigns to become God in proclaiming it an obligated Holy Day.

Can. 1246 §1. Sunday, on which by apostolic tradition the paschal mystery is celebrated, must be observed in the universal Church as the primordial holy day of obligation. The following days must also be observed: the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Epiphany, the Ascension, the Body and Blood of Christ, Holy Mary the Mother of God, her Immaculate Conception, her Assumption, Saint Joseph, Saint Peter and Saint Paul the Apostles, and All Saints.

Well, if you LOVE someone, you don’t mind going to church to worship that Person, now do you?! I guess if you don’t LOVE God, you will think of any reason at all not to worship Him. Commandments have no bearing one way or the other when someone LOVES someone. And, yes, the Church does command us to worship God on certain occasions. But, then again it is only reiterating the Ten Commandments: “Thou shalt Love the Lord thy God.” and “Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy.” Those were given by God Himself to us. Only those who don’t LOVE Him see this as a problem.
