I'm not making fun of anyone. It just that, when you put it in those terms, it DOES seem a little silly.

The thing is, we don't put it that way in our society...
We do make a point of marking annual events whether they are religious holidays (Christmas, Ramadan, Easter, etc.), seasonal events (Summer Solstice, Thanksgiving, etc.), or personal (birthdays, weddings anniversaries, etc.).
We do this for the meaning it provides us not just because one rock makes a complete revolution around a star every 365.25 days...
