It's nothing to do with xenophobia. You are just being plain silly. Mother's Day was celebrated here before, during and after the war with Nazi Germany as you very well know. If we went to war with another country which celebrated birthdays would that mean in your twisted view of logic that we should all stop celebrating birthdays?
