I think the calendar thing has a lot to do with the number of people that have relatives who've emigrated to Australia, New Zealand and other far-flung places.
They also post silly numbers of Christmas cards so the Post Office always hires lots of temps to help them cope with mail over Christmas.
That's a very long-standing tradition, my Dad was a temporary postman when he was a student over 50 years ago. :-)
