Birth dates have become an integral part or the verification process on websites - those of banks, retailers, airlines etc.
Knowledge of an individual's birth date can assist identify theft - just like place of birth, and mother's maiden name.
It's no harm to alter some of them, keeping your disceptions consistent. The least common birth date is 25 December.

Many happy returns, old fruit.

I'm not big on birthdays; always regarded them as one year closer to death. I remember one year I was in Chicago about to attend a convention (plugging Roger Glover's Butterfly Ball) and I managed to wake up having totally forgotten it was my birthday. Listening to the radio whilst shaving, on comes the DJ "and today's birthdays - Jonathan King. Whatever happened to him?".
Taught me to remember my mortality.

Happy birthday!

And now I'm 75; amusing that for most of my birthdays I appeared in every national newspaper on Dec 6th; not these days; check the Times; I have become a non person; I was never born.
