910

The changing of the season has officially arrived. The days are getting shorter, the temperatures a tad cooler and mindsets are shifting to the upcoming holidays.

By November, the festive season is in full swing, and before the shopping rush begins, families will be gathering to celebrate a year of gratitude. The Thanksgiving meal is a pillar of this holiday tradition, a staple of American culture and often an effort of grand proportions to put together.

For those who are more inclined to dine out than cook at home, here are five Martin County restaurants that will be happy to host your Thanksgiving celebrations.
