Jesus was a Jew. According to historians, it is most likely that Jews did not celebrate their birthdays in the ancient times when Jesus lived. The idea that at 13 a boy has reached the age of having to undertake adult religious obligations was not established until Talmudic times, several hundred years after Jesus, and even then it was not celebrated in the modern sense of a birthday party. However, the fact that Jesus did not celebrate his own birthday does not imply that his birthday should not be celebrated. For those who believe in Jesus as Lord, it is quite natural to rejoice in his birth. I imagine that Jesus would be pleased that people love him so much they want to celebrate his birth even thousands of years after it occurred.
