How can I create a birthday calendar using the Date and Calendar modules? I have a content type that represents a person, and this content type has a CCK Date field "birthday". I'd now like to add a list of upcoming birthdays and a calendar where they are displayed. 

I'm already using the Calendar module for events on that site, but the birthday stuff seems to be more difficult. I can't use the Birtdays module as I'm working with nodes, not user profiles. And the Date field doesn't seem to support this use case, I can't create a view that only shows upcoming birthdays because I see no way to ignore the year for that calculation.

What would be the easiest way to implement such a birthday calendar?
You can try with Birthdays module. It allows users to add their birthday to their profile.


  The Birthdays module allows users to add their birthday to their profile. It also lists birthdays on a seperate page and in different blocks. Users can receive an e-mail on their birthday automatically, and the administrator can receive periodic reminders of who are having their birthday. Uses Profile module from core.
