Very often there is only one main course and salad, followed by your sweet. If you find the meal not enough, say "Oh, it's delicious!" and ask for some more of the chicken or steak or whatever you have just had. The hostess will be very glad that you appreciate her cooking and will give you an extra portion. But if you observe the Chinese way of being polite and say "No, thank you" when the hostess offers you more, you will most probably starve later, because Americans will never press food on you. Yet it is not polite to keep silent and not to talk with the person next to you. It would be considered good manners if you handle your silverware with care so that they don't make any noise. When coffee comes, drink it from your cup. The coffee spoon should rest on the saucer while you are drinking. And smoking, of course, is rarely seen at a dinner table. Well, when the meal is finished, the guests put their napkins on the table and stand up, the men again helping the ladies with their chairs.
After the dinner, the guests usually stay for an hour or two, then they would say, "Well, I'm afraid I must be going now." The host and hostess would of course urge everyone to stay longer. "What, already? Won't you have another coffee?" The guests, for instance, would say, "I'd love to, but I have to be up early tomorrow morning. Thank you for a most enjoyable evening. Good-night."
And if you stay overnight or over the weekend, it will be courteous to send a thank-you note to the host or hostess the following day, very often with a small gift such as a box of chocolate or some flowers as a token of appreciation of their hospitality.

With proper planning, though, it is possible to maintain normal weight during the holidays. The idea is to enjoy the holidays and think in terms of moderation. Whether it is celebrating at the office party or sitting down at the traditional family dinner, approach eating as a time for tasting or sampling a variety of foods. Here are some tips to carry you through the round of celebrations and your social calendar without feeling guilty.
Set realistic goal. Unless you have special dietary needs there are no forbidden foods. Don't deny yourself the foods you enjoy, but be sensible.
Don't skip meals. Before you leave home, have a small, low-fat meal or snack. This can help you to avoid overindulging.
Control portions. Use a small plate and avoid the large plate that may encourage you to "load up." You should be most comfortable eating an amount of food about the size of your fist. Once you have had enough, move away from the buffet. Doing so will make it less tempting to be eating constantly as your appetite is stimulated by the sight of the food.
Eat slowly and savor. Look upon eating as a time for tasting or sampling different kinds of foods. Savor the flavours. Eating at a slow pace.
Fill up beforehand with clear soup and raw fruit or vegetables. Put raw vegetables and fruit in a yogurt (乳酸) dressing rather than cream and cheese sauces.
Drink a large glass of water before you eat to help you feel full.
If you have a sweet tooth, try mints, hard candies, and fruits. These don't have the fat content of creamy desserts and chocolate.
Maintain physical activity. Don't let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20-minute brisk walk after a meal can help burn off excess calories.
Avoid high-fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy may have a generous amount of fat. Choose lean meats. Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables.
