I'd have to say that if you're having problems with your SL and you aren't on a schedule of some type the answer is .... no. Things won't necessarily pick up just because it's the "season of giving".
Last year I didn't get it Christmas, New Years, Valentines Day, Our Anniversary, Mother's Day, or my Birthday. Come to think of it I didn't get it on any holiday. However since we started our schedule I have now had it 5 times in one month (just started the schedule in Nov.) That is just about how many times we ML last year in total.
