Contrary to popular belief, major holidays are actually associated with a lower number of suicides, but days in the beginning of the week, and in the start of spring, were linked to more suicide attempts.

The fact that there are lower suicide attempts around the holidays suggests that family support and communication can boost mood and therefore have people reconsider taking their own lives. I believe this is true because during the holidays they realize how much they are loved and how hurt their family would be if they were gone.
