I know Jehovah's Witnesses also do not celebrate birthdays, and as 
Christmas is the celebration of Christ's birth, this is another 
reason they don't celebrate it.  Something about, in the bible, every 
time there was some celebration for a birthday, something bad would 
happen, and this was a sign from God that birthdays should not be 
celebrated.  That's the gist of it, anyway.
