I wouldn't classify it as spiritual for me, and it's not just another day. It's a special day to celebrate with friends and family. It's one of those societal rites of passage (especially my 21st birthday when I become fully legal, and my friends determined to get me drunk :)). It's a special day no doubt, but it's not on par with say, a spiritual awakening.
