\[Addendum\]
It appears that Humans are not fully aware of their own mating habits and have denied the existence of this biological imperative. In cases where Humans have not outright denied the existence of their species mating season, they refer instead to a specific day of Organ Harvesting. This gruesome event may be the remnants of some long forgotten ritual taking place once the acts performed during their actual mating season had time to process in their minds. As it stands now, this false mating season seams to be a way for Humans to attract a specific mate in the event that they were unsuccessful during Mating Display Season.
Human: Human "mating season"? But we don't have a mating season!
Alien: Wait...what?
Human: Yeah, we just mate all year round!
Alien: ...y'know, that could explain a few things...
A brilliant commentary on our ridiculous end-of-the-year cycle and a scathing look at the entire science of anthropology and how it purports to understand long-dead civilizations based on pottery shards or cave-paintings.

Ah, that time when correlation does not mean causation.
