That's just the Egyptian Myths. Nut, the goddess of the sky was cursed by Ra to never give birth on any day of the year as Ra heard a prophecy that one of her kids, Osirus, would overthrow him. So she went to the god of the moon, Khonsu, a known gambler to gamble for enough moonlight for her children to be born. Eventually getting 5 days from him. And since they weren't part of the 360 day year she was free to give birth to them.

You celebrate 5 times a year (or 6 on those "special" years), and you never know until the day comes with the Signs present, so it's always a surprise party. As opposed to all those poor kids born near another major holiday like Christmas and they basically don't get a separate celebration. You also get to have some fun with the, "How old are you?" question. Feeling young at heart? Go by years. Need to be older or just feeling your age? Go by birthday celebrations passed.

Exalted did this. The five days were called Calibration and it was considered outside the usual year. It was the days when the Pattern Spiders recalibrated the Loom of Fate (the machine that ran the laws of physics and destiny). It was also the period when a sufficiently powerful sorceror could summon a third circle demon (who are a match for counties in many cases). And reality kinda...hiccuped a bit until the year started again. Weird stuff like butterflies pouring out of your kettle instead of tea.

Funny, the most famous German TTRPG DSA (Das Schwarze Auge/ The Dark Eye) actually kind of has this concept. They are called the "nameless days". They occur when the 13th, banished god that once ruled the pantheon is at his strongest. They are considered bad omens and many of the worst things on Dere (the world setting) happen in those 5/6 days.

celebrate on the last non-Nameless day. Side note: You cannot be named, once born, on a nameless day. It's not that it's unlucky. The name simply doesn't feel right, and you'll choose something else later. Savvy parents will use this to rule out names they hate, and savvier still are the parents who name their children in advance.

Thats pretty much how it worked in Rome till Julius Caesar made the Julian Calendar. It was the job of the Pontifex Maximus (Highest religious figure) to assign public holidays to make up the remaining days. Funnily enough Caesar was Pontifex Maximus, and spent 10 years too busy campaigning in Gaul without assigning those days so the calendar skewed off by 3 whole months.
