Americans are gloomy inventors of a whole series of things that we could well do without, among other island of the famous McDonald, the atomic bomb, Britney Spears and house music. , I am told that sometimes they have someone hit it right too, but nevertheless I'm biased than any "American" (apart from the Hollywood movie, that helped me to turn off your brain and relax and then I appreciate whatever). But yesterday, I was taken to reassess one of their traditions, which until then I had cheerfully ignored, branded as yet another festival of consumerism: Thanksgiving. E 'was my first Thanksgiving, a little' unusual if you will, since that took place between a multi-ethnic mix of Italians and expats, and we do not know if the climate in the U.S. with which is celebrated is what I experienced but I have no reason to doubt it. What I picked up was a great desire to gather and respect for tradition, but without ostentation or rhetoric, only to be there for the pleasure of being there and being together, a bit 'as it should be keep world. Yesterday was the only unanimous gratitude to the organizers of the festival, but I think is not wrong to have a day where you take the time to understand what are the things worth being grateful.
