To be honest I've got quite a different take on the meaning of this song:
He had a "party-bag" full of lies (something to do with the a girl perhaps) and now he just can't sleep.. because he keeps thinking over and over to whatever happened.. and he's going a bit mental, he realises it (just loosing touch or getting off the track.. the dialogue with Steve the guinea pig) and he decides to move to New York (playing a bit on the concept that is the city that never sleeps, but I think the truth is that he just wants to move to change the scenery around himself)
If you notice on the video he's all but happy.. it seems completely indifferent to everything and everybody.. So I guess that "Christmas came early" needs to be read in a sarcastic way..
Other clues..
"wearing your heart on your sleeves" is an english (as british englis) phrase that means to be open about the way you feel.. So.. "we are not the same and I'll wear that on my sleeves" can be read as: Things are obviusly not as they were and I'm gonna be bloody open about it.. Perhaps so honest that I'm gonna shout it out loudly.. which "is therapeutic somehow"

Obviously this is just my take..
