What is "sad" about making serious new year's resolutions? That people do not do this every day instead of especially at the new year? Or that people do this at all, instead of drifting unawares? Please expand your thought.
That people don't do this every day. If you decide that you should change your behavior, there's no time like the present.
Convincing oneself that "this is a special occasion" can have positive effects on willpower (citation needed, but dang it, can't remember what I'm thinking of, I'll get back to you), so putting forth your resolutions on one specified day may be more effective.
