To party or not to party

So hears the deal i dont celebrate birthdays(just not something i did growing up and see it kinda as a waste and to self centering) but my husband loves to go all out on his birthday. I was not planning on celebrating our childs birthday until he said how it was so important to him so i relaxed a little and suggested to not celebrate until he was old enough to make that choice for himself. My husband says its all or nothing. I dont have a problem with it when he is older but cannot see the point of celebrating while he is to little to remember it anyways. Any ideas on how to meet in the middle?
