Don&#8217;t even think about crackin&#8217; that box of chocolates open.  Send &#8217;em right out the door.<br \/>\n2.  <strong>Steer Clear of the Buffet Table<\/strong>.  What kind of masochist are you, anyway?<br \/>\n3.  <strong>Keep on Talking.<\/strong> It&#8217;s difficult to eat and talk at the same time not to mention terribly uncouth.<br \/>\n4.  <strong>No Sweat Pants Allowed.<\/strong>  Leave no room for expansion; wear snug clothing!<br \/>\n5. <strong> Keep Your Hands Busy.<\/strong>  Try knitting, crocheting, cutting and pasting, needlepoint, draw, write &#8211; anything to keep your hands busy.  Give your creations as gifts!<br \/>\n6.  <strong>Ask Santa for a Pedometer. <\/strong> And then, for goodness sake.  Use It!<br \/>\n7. <strong> Eat Before the Party.<\/strong>  Make yourself a huge (and I mean huge) salad and eat it before heading out, lest you get hungry and act like a reprehensible pig.<br \/>\n8. <strong> Learn how to say &#8220;No, thank you&#8221; in <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/ourladyofweightloss\/2008\/10\/how-to-say-no-thank-you.html\">several languages<\/a>.<\/strong>  You&#8217;ll be saying it a lot, so keep it interesting and fun.
