I always run the Turkey Trot that morning. Then I am pretty moderate, but eat whatever I want! 6.5 miles is a great way to keep the lbs from packing on that day!1

I don't avoid it.
I usually plan on being strict and eating a 'normal' amount, but I never do.
Honestly tho, I eat way more than I plan to often, so why should the holidays be any different? I just get more worked up in my head about the anticipation of lots of food presented to me all at once.0 -

Awesome! Enjoy0 -
With my family there is a big difference between Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. Thanksgiving is a turkey stuffed with stuffing and whole bunch of sides like green bean casserole, chipotle sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, butternut squash, several deserts, etc.
Christmas is a more formal dinner...usually a prime rib roast, a salad or soup starter, and either mashed or roasted potatoes and a veg...usually roasted brussels sprouts and a pie for desert...usually pecan.1 -

Your absolutely right! Everything in moderation we should live life and enjoy we only got one.🙂 enjoy0 -
I work it out as how many weekly calories I can have as a maintenance week, plus more walking and will plan accordingly. That will also be the start of a maintenance period for the holidays, as there is too much good stuff I refuse to miss out on at least tasting.1

I don't remember what I did but I ate my normal high cal/refeed intake that weekend, actually probably less because there was no pasta1
