'Tis The Season
Many Places In Montauk Are Offering Excellent Gift Ideas
By Genevieve Salamone
As the seasons change from fall to winter, the holidays that
mark this time of year come around once again. It’s
a time to gather with family and friends and reminisce while
making new memories to last a lifetime.
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, all thoughts turn
to that most fulfilling meal we look forward to each year.
Turkey with all the trimmings, mashed potatoes loaded with
flavor, side dishes that always taste better on the Thanksgiving
table.
If you’re looking to share some Thanksgiving spirit with
your neighbors, head on over to the Montauk Fire Department

After you’ve eaten all the turkey you can fit, it’s

Christmas and Hanukkah. It’s without a doubt my favorite
time of year, as everyone gets into the holiday spirit in their
own unique ways.
