American people celebrate Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November. That day, families get together to celebrate. Even though we don't have this celebration in Argentina, I think we can also take some time to recall all those things we can be thankful for. Many times we are so involved in our everyday activities that we don't take the time to enjoy things we may take for granted.

What are you thankful for?
