Hi Mister Micawber,
Thank you for your reply.
When want to describe an activity or an event, we often use 'it' as an empty subject.
Is that the case in 'Because it is Caroline's birthday'?

Yes, I think so. It could refer vaguely to the day within the 'weekend', though.

Hi Mister Micawber,
Thank you for your reply. I've never thought about that possibility.
