SATURDAY & SUNDAY: Pinkies up

Make time for a nice cup of tea in between returning presents and spending those gift cards. Tea at UpStairs on the Square is an elegant affair for the young and not so young. At the Children's Zebra Tea, kids feast on marzipan chocolate mice, grilled cheese and pb&j tea sandwiches, hot cocoa with homemade marshmallows, brownies, gingerbread zebras, and cookies. Adults are just as spoiled with tea sandwiches, cookies, bite-sized sweets, and famous Valrhona hot cocoa.

3-5 p.m. Saturday for kids and adults; 2-4:30 p.m. Sunday for adults. $28, $15 for kids. Reservations are recommended. UpStairs on the Square, 91 Winthrop St., Cambridge. 617-864-1933. upstairsonthesquare.com
