was he quitting from eating something? from drinking something? from useing some object? from some habit?
is the thing he is quiting something generaly thought of as 'bad'? a bad habit?
is the reason he wants to avoid the christmas fiest due to the food?? the drinks? seeing the people there? interacting with them? because of something he knows they will do? because he dosn't want to be around people in general when quiting? |

is he avoiding ingesting something? comeing in contact with something? a behavior he would often do?
relevant why he is quitting this thing?
would puzzle still work if he was avoiding a different holiday fiest? a fiest that is not connected to holidays or celbration? any large meal of any kind?
the people in attendence during the festival important? what is sereved? how it is served? |

did his habit involve some mind-altering substance, which he skipped this year, and later realized that this Christmas he enjoyed much more with unadulterated mental faculties? |

Okay...
Best - Alcoholic who Snogged Ms. World
Doherty - Heroine addict who Snogged a Model
Merson - Also Alcoholic who probably had a following of women too.
So was Thomas trying to avoid the Christmas feast because it would involve alcohol? And he was trying to stay sober? But he tends to give in to temptation? When he gives in, he does things he's not proud of? Snogs lots of women? One woman? Drove somebody away because of his drinking? His family? His girlfriend? Raped somebody? Blacks out and remembers nothing?
It was his best Christmas because... he could actually remember it? Didn't drive anybody away? Kept his promise to stay clean and sober? |

I'm new here and this is my first post so forgive me please if it's stupid, but would Thoma be the turkey by any chance? I guess that doesn't make much sense since a turkey can't really decide to skip Christmas but it does seem to fit with many of the answers. |

Just to clarify (coz I'm new and just found this puzzle!)
-He's quitting a habit that most people see as natural?
-He doesn't want to avoid Christmas because of the food and drinks?
-But he does want to avoid ingesting something?
-He is addicted to something but not alcohol? |

Pardon if this sounds stupid, but this is my first post as I just found these puzzles and registered.
Does the activity have anything to do mistletoe?
Is he trying to avoid some type of contact with women which might lead to some type of trouble? |

Is he addicted to Christmas? celebrations? religious festivities? religion? Is he a perfectionist? |

Is he addicted to Christmas? YOU GOT IT !!! - See Spoiler Below celebrations? religious festivities? religion? Is he a perfectionist?
Thomas suffered from a Obsessive Compulsive Disorder - an OCD. He was addicted to celebrating Christmas. In fact he celebrated it EVERY DAY for 12 years.
By not celebrating it, he realised that he was cured of his obsession - and that was his best Christmas ever !!!!
This is based on a true story !!! |
