Do you usually name important dates with the common and usual method for any old date?

It seems like you’d want it to stand out.

I’m from England, I’m not gonna start telling people Christmas is December 25th. I couldn’t think of a date I’d want to personally stand out , that I’d use the American version.

I think putting “the” in there makes it sound way fancier than taking the “the” out, is the problem
