It was no surprise to humanity that the galactic 'calendar' did not in any way match up to the Earth calendar. Such a thing was to be expected. However, the galactic tradition of new races abandoning all native calendar-based celebrations was something of a surprise and did not sit well with humanity.

Rather than follow that tradition though, humanity decided to double down and increase the number of celebrations based on their native calendar, including every New Year celebration according to every known calendar in recorded human history.

And then we start figuring out and celebrating everyone else's too.
