To delay DS birthday

It's my DS 3rd birthday tomorrow. We have had an eventful week, house renovations taking longer than they should due to unforeseen issues, DS hasn't been well including a A&E visit, the house is still a complete mess and we will have builders in here again tomorrow.
He obviously doesn't know date/days and we haven't overly mentioned his birthday to him. He just knows it's soon. I feel like doing it properly in a couple of days so we can try and make the house more appropriate. Yet at the same time I feel really weird not acknowledging it tomorrow. The issue is if I tell him/say happy birthday to him he will instantly want presents/cake/party.
Has anyone else done this? Am I being overly precious?

I do not understand people on MN. Enough intellect to get a job and enough money to get a kitchen built and raise a child but without eniugh sense to figure something like this out.

But not enough intellect to find a website perhaps?
