The custom of saying "many happy returns of the day" just "happy birthday" is severely outdated. In today's modern, fast paced world, what we need to start doing is treating a birthday not as a day to grunt a customary greeting, but to set time aside for the person and listen to what they have to say. In other words, if you can't take out time from you busy schedule for a person one day of the year, then you deserve to go the whole year without anyone asking how you're doing and actually being interested in the answer.
