Hey, our kids don't know it's New Year's Day. They aren't going to sleep in, so why be exhausted?

Some Jewish authorities say that celebrating a secular 'holiday' like New Year's isn't appropriate.
Our host, however, cited his mother, quoting a Chassidic rabbi who said:
"If people are wishing each other Mazal(good luck), why wouldn't we join in?"
