Stay distracted: One of the easiest way to eat everything on the appetizer table is by sticking near it. Instead make sure to move around the room and strike up conversations which will keep you occupied until dinner time.
Stay active: The holidays shouldn't be an excuse to skimp on your workout. Go for a run, dance, take a long walk, anything that will help you burn calories from the meals you've eaten.
Limit alcohol intake: It's easy to drink a little too much during the festivities therefore it's best to monitor it from the beginning. Make sure to pace yourself and drink water in between and not mix alcohols.
