Ummmmm -- what is the TZ for the time scale?

And wouldn't New Year's Eve seem a more likely peak load time?  People 
posting where they are going to be, getting their "best wishes" in 
early, etc?

Certainly your own data suggests as much:

though there is not that much of an increment over New Year's Day 
itself, there dose seem to be more traffic, and _more sustained AND 
consistent traffic_ on NYE...

(I'm assuming that the weirdness with 1000 and 1100 on NYE is just a 
data collection/aggregation problem and that the apparent massive drop 
and spike there really splits roughly 50/50 across those two hours, as 
it is about exactly 200% the apparent, fairly consistent, average tweet 
rate for the next 12-14 hours...)
