I think we're subconsciously ingrained with the idea that September is the start of a new year. Perhaps it's our "New Half Year." But in the New Half Year, we reconnect with old friends and acquaintances. From the time we're young and impressionable, we start our school semesters before the beginning of Fall -- either at the end of August or sometime in September. Maybe as adults, even far removed from school or college, we carry the sense that when it starts to get a little colder there's a new year on the horizon, filled with familiar faces.
It could be that deep down we're trying to recapture that feeling and aren't consciously aware of it.
Hey, I just coined a new term for Rosh Hashanah. ;-)
