I normally put on a bit of padding (I don’t weigh myself) but some of it is bloat. Although so far this year I had a bad cold on my big night out so barely drank, and have just had bad D&V (poss food poisoning) so I’ve lost a bit. Plenty time to rectify that though

I gained 8lbs over December last year but it was gone fairly quickly.

Similarly I have gained anywhere between 5lbs and 12lbs(!!!!) while on holiday. We are real foodies and tend to do city breaks/multi stop holidays where we eat and drink lots. The infamous "twelve pounder" holiday was due to strict low carbing before the break and then a week of eating absolutely whatever I wanted. That 12lbs was gone after a single week of eating normally again.

No, I usually lose weight as I am more active but do not eat more than normal.

I lose weight at Christmas as I cannot bear all the biscuits , sweets etc. I find them all a bit overwhelming tbh , so tend to eat quite simply. I also exercise daily during the Christmas period .
On holiday, I lose weight as I am usually more active

Not really a fan of junk food, and don't drink alcohol, so I tend to lose a bit of weight during the holidays as I'm more active then. Anything I eat on Christmas Day is likely to be cancelled out by a 15 mile walk on Boxing Day.

Never.
At Christmas I have time to run more. In the summer I can run and swim.

I always put on weight at Xmas unless we go away on holiday. On holiday I actually lose weight due to heat making me want to eat less and swimming/hiking!
