Hi Marc. You seem to be getting to the root cause(s) of your Christmas "curse." I saw somewhere that people can suffer around the anniversary of a loss or trauma. You seem to fit that syndrome; in fact, the incidents might be compounding themselves so that you anticipate what's coming.
I suggest that you use the anticipation to advantage. Next year, think about what you might eat in order to "make this year's puke outdo the others!" Share the joke with friends/family so that they can "watch what's coming" or cheer when you break this bond with the past. (Of course eating lightly might be more sensible.)
Alternatively, calm yourself and go within, asking for old memories to show themselves so that you can deal with them and send them away for good or reduce their power. Grab opportunities for gratitude and forgiveness, even when you don't know whom to forgive. After all, we here like to think that we are one, so include yourself in the forgiveness.
I wish you many good times in the coming year.
