Does the Bible say anything specific about birthdays? Read more: Does the Bible say anything specific about birthdays?

Yes.

In an attempt to avoid paganism some religions don't celebrate birthdays. Scripture does mention birthdays although not in celebration of them.

The Pharaoh of Egypt on his birthday killed his baker (Gen 40:20); 

King Herod on his birthday killed John the Baptist. (Matt 14:6). 

There's nothing in these verses to indicate birthdays were of pagan origin. These two men celebrated something in association with themselves not an idol or pagan god. Nothing in the Bible condemns birthdays.

God has shown his creative power in the life of a baby. A baby's birthday is nothing more then remembrance of the day God gave life to the child.

If God does not specifically condemn or prohibit something, then man has no authority to create a law and bind it upon others for obedience and faith. Man-made edicts and religious laws have no Scriptural authority. No one is obligated to follow or observe what is not found in the Word of God by principle or by direct reference. There is nothing in the Word of God that by principle or direct reference condemns observing birthdays.
