I know it was Jesus' first birthday party, perhaps with the slightly older Judas Iscariot lurking in the background stuffing his pockets with party size Snickers bars while everyone else sang יום הולדת שמח, but apart from that.

There's no year 0, so Jesus would turn 1 in the year 2 if 1AD was really when he was born, but most think he was born around 2 BC.
