The holidays come with a lot of pressure to be joyful, grateful, festive, and smiling, even when your heart may not be there. In this week’s Tuesday People podcast, Mitch Albom reflects on the idea of “holiday cheer” and why it doesn’t need to be forced. Drawing from his time with Morrie Schwartz, Mitch shares how Morrie faced depression honestly in his final days, never denying it, but never letting it define him either. Depression, Morrie taught, is just one emotion among many — not a failure, not a flaw, and not something to feel ashamed of, especially during the holidays. If the blah-humbugs sneak in this season, this conversation is a gentle reminder to stop measuring your happiness, release the guilt, and let your heart lead you where it needs to go.
