The 'Call the Midwife' Holiday Special Finds the Midwives in Scotland

'Tis the season! The holidays are almost upon us, which means it's nearly time for one of our favorite traditions: The annual Call the Midwife Christmas special.

The special holiday installment will air on Christmas Day in both the U.S. and the U.K., and will send the midwives to the Outer Hebrides of Scotland to respond to a nursing shortage there. The episode will focus on the ladies' attempt to navigate and respond to the needs of the locals they've only just met, sometimes in fairly bleak conditions with little access to water or electricity.

And also...there appear to be quite a few sheep. (Insert your own joke about Scotland here.)
