It’s not what you do between Christmas and New Year’s, but what you do between New Year’s and Christmas that really counts.  Health should be measured by your ability to not only eat healthfully but also soulfully with fun and flexibility. Also be mindful that overeating occasionally will never result in permanent lasting weight changes.  The goal over the holidays is to be mindful but not obsessive.
