Did you know that celebrating birthdays, which in ancient Greece and Rome you did for a "god" or "emperor" (who wanted to be worshiped as a god) was considered a PAGAN practice by early Christians?
Did you know that in some middle eastern cultures they still don't celebrate birthdays?
Now do you understand why Jesus birthday celebration wasn't something the people living in Rome who knew Christ cared to do. Mary was alive and the most likely source of Luke's gospel which has the whole infancy narrative of Jesus. If he interviewed her, the woman who give birth to the man (even if you think he was an ordinary man) do you think Mary carried a calendar around?
Totally sympathetic on the birthday point, but don't have material at hand. Here's a lot of background on the exceptionality of Jesus. Luke knew Jesus's birth year because the death of Herod was famous, but didn't seem to have the day detailed because he says "about 30" in chapter 3.
