"I normally abide by the old idea that a lot of smaller meals are better than one big one, but for the holidays, I'm flipping that upside down. I know I'm not going to be able to resist the many courses once I'm at the table, so I'm going to let myself go all out at big meals and try to just eat as little as possible around that. I won't (and can't) starve myself, but I think the anticipation of the deliciousness to come will keep me off random snacks I don't really want or need during rare eating off-hours. The one thing I know I won't be able to resist for a midnight treat? Panettone with homemade whipped cream!"
