Sure it does, the day is the day a lot of Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus. That's something to do with it. That there is no real significance beyond convenience at an earlier date is pretty much irrelevent...
I mean, let's say I picked a random day to celebrate the birth of Terra Branford. Let's say it caught on. To say that day has nothing to do with Final Fantasy is ignoring that there is ONE thing that links them, the fact that a massive number of people celebrate a character of the game's birth on that day. Simply put, a holiday only has meaning BECAUSE humans assign meaning to that day. Now, the reasons can be frivilous as much as they want, and if the reasons are based in a lie, you can call them on it, but it'll still have meaning, even if that meaning is essentially "lie day" if you wish.
By the way, WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
