Lets keep our chins up!

That is what I suspected. It makes lifstages less boring, seeing as they will be changing almost everyday. Maybe there'll be a little notebook/guide that you can view that shows you all the events coming up. If you check it everytime you play, you will be aware of whose birthday(s) are coming up, and can choose to celebrate them only if you wish too. That way, there's no harassment with all the birthday pop-ups.
