True Christianity? Let's not invoke the no true Scotsman fallacy here. Yes it is true that some Christians at some times thought celebrating birthdays was wrong. Notably the Puritans and Quakers and currently the Jehovah's witnesses. These groups also don't celebrate Christmas. There's also many Christians who allow the celebration of birthdays and never had a problem with it as far as I can tell. It wasn't always capitalism and mass spending just cultural exchange. Charles Dickens has a lot to do with our modern Christmas for example.
