I'm about to be sick. Can I stop it?

For the past two years in a row, I've gotten sick exactly on Dec 30th. I feel it coming on again. Is there anything I can do to curb it? For two years running, exactly on Dec 30th, I've woken up with a stomach virus/something abominable that's kept me feverish and bedridden for a week (likely picked up from a Christmas Eve gathering). I'm talking can't move, can barely speak, can't eat, can't keep anything down, nearly-hospitalized type of sick that keeps me barely conscious. I'm not sick once during the year - then bam, Dec 30th.

It's Dec 29th. I feel queasy, achy and nauseated. Is there anything I can do to head it off this year? I'm healthy, I'm eating light, I'm not drinking liquor or caffeine, I'm washing my hands, I'm taking it easy - but if this is going to happen AGAIN, are there any tricks to shortening the length of it, or stopping it all together? I don't want to spend another NYE sleeping on the bathroom floor. Thanks, MeFi.
