Even if it were arbitrary, I think a personified celestial body would instantly recognise the humanity in celebrating something happening again and again. Like when someone keeps falling over and the people witnessing it go "wahey!" every time.

Edit: or when the DVD screensaver logo hits the corner, which granted doesn't happen as often but they go mad for it.

I shouldn't be surprised that lemmites would find a way to make hating the new year a personality trait.

It‘s not completely arbitrary. New year is after the shortest day for daylight of the year.

In theory, couldn't we use the exact point the Earth is precisely between the sun and galactic center?
