AHH, THE holidays: that time of good cheer, good gifts, and . . . overeating. Well, let the belt out a notch and deal with it, because there are too many indulgences too tasty to pass up. For starters, head over to Radius on December 8 for a class on holiday hors d'oeuvres. From 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., let chef Patrick Connolly and co-owner Christopher Myers teach you a thing or two. The cost is $125; call 617.426.1234 for reservations. >> Not that you need an excuse to dine at No. 9 Park, but it's easier during holiday season, when the restaurant is open for lunch. Through December 21, come in for a midday meal from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. >> Need a holiday kick-start? The annual Holiday Champagne Tasting at UpStairs on the Square should do the trick. On December 17, at 6:30 p.m., $49 will buy you tastes of lots of bubbly, plus four courses of small bites. Call 617.864.1933 for reservations and information. >> Sick of the holiday hoopla already? Bah, humbug. For a celebration of an entirely different sort, head to Jake's Dixie Roadhouse in Waltham on Sunday afternoons for a weekly Pigskin Party. A special Gridiron Grill menu, beer specials, big-screen TV, and prizes should erase those visions of sugarplums in no time.
