Welcome, Carrie.

The trick with the holidays isn't the holidays
themselves, it's the days after and in between the
holidays. It's the leftovers. Thanksgivings, Christmas
eve (Christmas is Saturday this year) and New years
eve are just 3 days. Give yourself those 3 extra days
and no more and you'll be fine. But brace yourself,
it's harder than it sounds. 

I don't want to hear people bragging about how little
they ate on Thanksgiving (etc.). That's
counterproductive and a shame, frankly. Brag about how
little you ate the day after, the week after. The
holidays themselves are a necessary safety valve and a
positive pleasure. It can and should be win/win.

Looking forward to hearing more from you,

Reinhard
