If there was any legitimate reason to shun New Year's Day, the Bible may have the solutions for you. For example, the Vernal Equinox, commonly called the Spring Equinox, is the true start of the new year. Then we have New Year's resolutions failing because real change takes a lot more time than just mere resolutions. It gets even worse when you realize that New Year's holidays see many cases of drink driving incidents, with some of them being fatal.
If God wants us to not welcome the New Year on January 1, maybe we should go back to saying "Happy First Day of Spring" instead. Maybe going back to the Anno Mundi Calendar and observing the Spring Equinox will set right everything wrong with our calendar.
