Mostly, the whole thing with christmas and the new year starting. A time to crawl out of the damp dark space that houses the computer and see the people who name themselves your relatives and friends. It goes hand in hand with sleep deprivation, sugar-induced stupors and holidays which make it the perfect time to get out of the house completely.
If not one or more of the above, there's the alcohol, winter depression and tradition of neat-computer-game-gift-granting to be blamed. Or maybe the aliens, a random government or the alignment of the planets.
Whatever the case, it'll pass soon enough.
