In 1973, On the Christmas episode of “ALL IN THE FAMILY”, Lifeʹs funny. Some people who have been bad all year get a lump of coal in their Christmas stocking. Edith Bunker (Jean Stapleton), who couldnʹt be more thoroughly good, finds a lump in her breast just before Christmas. Though Edith tries to keep her condition a secret, soon everybody knows…except Archie (Carroll OʹConnor). When she fears that should she need surgery, Archie will never think of her in the same way again, she learns, in a moving and then hilarious exchange, that her next-door neighbor has been through it and lived to tell the tale. When Archie discovers whatʹs up and races to the hospital, we see the love he canʹt express, and weʹre set up for two things: good news about Edith and one unforgettable punch line. One can only imagine how many women who saw “Edithʹs Christmas Story” gained the knowledge and courage to pursue treatment that saved their lives. Itʹs hard to think of a more profound Christmas gift.
