Smugglers didn't celebrate many holidays. They celebrated other things - big hauls, getting away with stuff, surviving - but not holidays. Some smugglers were bitter, some just opportunities in a more vulnerable populace, and some had never had anyone to celebrate with.
Holidays were so subjective anyway. What did a solstice matter in space? Why would the Hutts care about an ancient Wookie victory?

"Hey, I didn't say nothin' 'bout that! Food's good, that's all." He winced as a careless party goer bumped into Luke's left arm, the one that had been injured in the raid yesterday.
RAWR.
"Oh, shut up, you stupid furball," he grumbled.
RAWR.
"And a happy new year to you too. I can still leave, you hear?"
