Hey, it's Thanksgiving today in the USA and Brazil, and also kind of in Japan, so maybe it's a good day for me to ask, WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR? (a-z-animals.com)

It is a wishful-thinking style article on the web where some yank once met some yank who lived in Brazil and thus decided from this that every person in Brazil celebrated the USian holiday. Same in Japan, who definitely do not celebrate thanksgiving any more than Brazil does. But the yanks all think the world revolves around them.
