synopsis
Archie and Mike can't understand why the usually ebullient Edith is unable to get into the Christmas spirit. Only when she is alone with Gloria does Edith reveal what is preying on her mind: She thinks she may have breast cancer. It is up to next-door neighbor Irene Lorenzo to restore Edith's customary good spirits -- and she does so by making a surprising revelation of her own. Scripted by Austin and Irma Kalish from a story by Don Nicholl, "Edith's Christmas Story" was originally telecast on December 22, 1973.
