Seasonal spamming

Increase in spam in lead up to holiday season.

Whether this is a seasonal phenomenon or an indication of the overall rise in spam is not clear, but spammers will have to find new topics once the window of opportunity for 'personalised letters to Santa' has passed for another year.
