Why do we celebrate birthdays and anniversaries?What's really special about them?
Why do we feel hurt or upset when our loved ones forget to make us feel special on those select days?Why do we spend so much on that special day?
Why can't we just do it on another day that is just convenient and pleasant?

There are 2 view points to this issue, one is we have "Special Days" so that we can have a reason to celebrate some of the joys in life, also it is considered to be a way of saying that I do remember and Cherish the memory of that event and would like to differentiate it from all other days.The other way of thinking is you are so "Special" to me that I do not need a day to remember and Cherish you, for I do that every single day, this is only true if you also believe, in living every day as if it is their last day. Only if the love is shown every time they have a chance to show it, can all days become "Special" there by removing the need for Specific days of remembrance. It is that rare kind of relationship that we all need to aspire for.
Yeah I agree with you...
but I don't see a reason why some people, sometimes including myself, create such a fuss when those special days turn out to be not so special.After all, those days are meant to make us more happy, not unhappy.
I mean, if my b'day on 21 April
didn't go too well because it turned out to be a busy day at work, should I sulk or simply celebrate it on 22nd or 28th or 20th as per convenience?
If one is able to flex such things and events, then there's no point discussing it out here. But I see that so many people create a fuss because of the importance being attached to that special day.
Which is why it is important to strive towards making everyday Special. Also we do have an escape route as Hindus, we can go for the date that is more convenient for us like English or Star date, for such events, it would be a bit rare for both days leading to trouble. Let's all try to make the best of life for us & for those around us. Let's make every day Special and believe me it shall have some beautiful ripple effects that bring us all more Joy.
