I'm obviously in a different culture to the mainstream. The holidays don't represent any sort of gain or binging for me. I'm actually cutting over the holidays. All Christmas is is a regular lunch with relatives and that's it. I don't see why it needs to be an all day food fest.

Eh, to me it's a time when I get to see my family because we are all spread out. I feel that an all-day food fest with decadent treats is just that, a once-a-year, maybe twice-a-year if you do thanksgiving, time to indulge with your closest people. Even if you go overboard completely just once a year, it's not going to make you fat. It's in perfect moderation to have a ginormous feast one or two times a year.
For normal humans who eat ~2000 calories a day, even if you ate twice as much food as you normally would for 4 days, you'd only gain a little over 2 pounds with 8000 excess calories. Hammies who eat ~4000 a day and are already gaining weight with that then double down for 2 weeks because "teehee it's the holidays" and pack on 56000 calories for 16 pounds.
I think it's also totally cool to not celebrate a very big holiday with binging if that's not your thing. Just trying to offer a perspective as to why humans could even binge.

I think the "helladays" are a gigantic pain in the ass, I don't really celebrate them, and I certainly don't gain any weight.

I genuinely hate them, too, but it makes my family happy.
