As for the mourning for Imam Husain (a), both Shia and Sunni sources contain quite a few hadiths, in which it is said that the Prophet (pbuh) kissed the throat of his little grandson and wept. When His Eminence was asked about the reasons for such an act, he foresaw the events of Karbala.
In response to the second type of claim, I would like to say that no matter how valiant the events in Karbala are in Islamic history, it is still a tragedy. And in this there is no reason for fun. Is the killing of relatives of the imam and the imam himself, the capture of representatives of the family of the Prophet (s), cruel treatment of them joyful? What sane person can have fun on the anniversary of such events? And are those who put forward such absurd versions amused themselves at the loss of a loved one? We have repeatedly seen on video footage how after an ISIS terrorist is killed (or rather, sent to Hell), his comrades shed sad tears. If it is so bitter to experience the death of an ordinary person, then is it easy to accept what happened to the grandson of the Prophet (pbuh)? And where is the love for Ahl al-Bayt, as some claim? Now to the question about the beginning of the new year. The demands of the representatives of the group, which considers it inadmissible to celebrate the anniversary of any word, to have fun at the beginning of the new year, are simply ridiculous. For more than 13 centuries, the month of Muharram has been associated in thoughts with the tragedy in Karbala. And how can this story be presented in the form of a holiday, fun? Perhaps the authors of such harassment can celebrate the holiday at the onset of the month of Muharram. But true followers of the Prophet (s) and Muslims simply cannot do this.
