On today’s Tuesday People podcast, Mitch Albom reflects on why Thanksgiving — his favorite holiday of the year — shouldn’t be a battleground for politics or a place where we decide who “gets to be at the table” based on how they voted. In a time when families are tempted to take vengeance on loved ones who chose a different direction at the polls, Mitch invites us to “think about the thanks” in Thanksgiving and put that spirit toward the people sitting right beside us. Whatever political issues you might be carrying, let them go, just for today. And return to the simple art of storytelling and story-listening that makes this holiday so meaningful.
