Well... I only celebrate Eild-ul-Adha and Eild-ul-Fitr since that is what Islam says.

 

[Hamza913]

The only annual celebrations for Muslims are the two Eids. New year should be celebrated like every new day, by thanking Allah that you made it this far in such a turbulent world.

End of story.

My question is gentlemen can we add it as cultural event not religious and develop our own ways to celebrate it more like desi Pakistani style because young generation is going to celebrate it any way so according to me it is far better to develop our own ways and customs instead leaving kids to do it western style.

Then we should teach our children about what Islam says.
From what I have heard it is the two Eids which are supposed to be celebrated in Islam. No other festival can be celebrated.

We don't need special days to be happy. Change your outlook, company and interests and you can turn everyday into an Eid.

I don't think so Islam forbade us to celebrate any cultural event which is not against teaching of Islam.

What is bad in that if we allow newer generation to enjoy with the rest of the world within the limits of our cultural and religious boundaries?

Islam forbids any major annual celebration other than the two Eids.

Well I believe celebrating the Prophet Muhammad (saw)'s birthday is wrong and against the teachings of Islam.

Would like to have proper source and reference for this.

No, I don't think so...but the way it is being celebrated is objectionable and should be debated....leave it aside since it is off topic sensitive issue.

lol, you can find a few Muslims celebrating the Prophet Muhammad (saw)'s birthday only in South Asia.

It is an innovation.

If you don't get me wrong can you post a link or ayat from Quran clearly mentioning the subject like Hadith you posted in link.

Since the Ayat mubarka does't address this issue link provided by you.
