    Buffy has a friend, Eve Bowers (Eve Plumb, aka Jan Brady), in school who never attends class, but uses an intercom. She is unable to physically attend because of an unmentioned terminal illness. To Bill's embarrassement Buffy told her he can do anything. Bill does have her tested by a very good doctor at his expense, but to everyone's dismay the prognosis is not good. So the Davises and Mr. French bring her an early Christmas, fearing she may not live to see the real one. There are presents and a beautiful tree, and Mr. French as Santa. After the festivities it suddenly dawns on Buffy that her friend is dying, and Uncle Bill is there to comfort her.

    The sad, tender music heightens the emotion. Have a handkerchief handy for this one.moreless
