That Victorian Christmas Nativity Scene took me out completely.

(Also I nearly had a heart attack over Phyllis driving home in the snow, this show has scarred me too many times before.)

Call the Midwife presents a fantasy that has nothing to do with the miracle of childbirth and everything to do with the idea of having a tight-knit group of female friends who love and support each other. and a little bike to ride around on.

I know this is normally @miss-ute’s forte, but I rewatched the s2 Christmas special on a different streaming service today, and there were extended turandette scenes???? And different wedding music???

Also, sir, please…

christmas day tv binge part 2: watching the call the midwife christmas special has been mine and my mum’s christmas tradition since I was like 13, every year it has us both crying

love nancy and colette stuff but seeing nancy always makes me wish sister frances was still around because I always loved their dynamic being the younger people at nonnatus and having had such different lives (yes, I kind of shipped them)

similar feelings about loving cyril but seeing him making me miss lucille

sister monica joan has consistently been one of my favourites for a while and I really loved the stuff about them trying to recreate a christmas from her childhood

seems like most of what we get from patrick, shelagh and their kids these days is them being domestic and I do love that but I wonder if we might be heading towards something to do with may’s biological mother in the new season or if that was just for the special

call the midwife does patient storylines like no other show of this type, I always manage to get so attached to these characters we usually only see for one episode and I always love the connections between the patients and the main characters (and also the other patients) <3

honestly, I don’t know whether I should post on this blog or my medical drama sideblog if I ever want to post about the next series of call the midwife once it starts, cause on one hand it is technically medical and very much dramatic, but on the other hand it’s a period drama and not really set out in the same way as casualty at all. the seasons are short enough that I’m sure you guys won’t be as annoyed if I post about it over here as you would be if I did all my casualtyposting over here

skipped some stuff cause I’m getting tired, it’s been a long day, but this is what stuck out as I was watching

@Sicktember Part 1 - The Journey Home

I've taken a slightly different approach to Sicktember this year and have grouped the prompts together into five fics. This one includes the following prompts: 29. Sick on a Road Trip Alt 4. Flushed Cheeks 7. Borrowed Hoodie 13. Mononucleosis 8. “The closest doctor is probably hours away from here!”

Much thanks to @linguini17 for supplying much needed support and betaing!

The Journey Home

“Sister?” Julienne started from the trance she’d slipped into at the gentle hand on her arm. “You look ready for bed,” Nurse Crane observed as she sat down next to her on the benches that were lining the wall of the village hall. 

“I will admit that I am not perhaps designed for such late night festivities,” she admitted. The ceilidh was a joyous thing and it was an honour to have been invited, but Julienne was finding the noise and the light a little much. 

“Is something the matter,” the other woman asked, offering her the teacup she was holding. 

“I’m sure it’s nothing,” Julienne said, shaking her head.

“You still haven’t shaken the last of that bug have you?” Phyllis asked, her gaze becoming more pointed. 

“I will admit that I’m a little weary,” she admitted. “But nothing that a good night’s sleep will not resolve.”

“I won’t say I’m not looking forward to my own bed,” Phyllis admitted as they watched the others dancing. “But if you want to make an early exit…” 

 It was a sorely tempting idea, not least as Julienne’s head was beginning to pound in time with the music.

For a show where one of the main themes is that not all of the characters can be off work at the same time, they sure are stacking up the day where they're going to want time off.

What the Turner family got for Christmas

[miss-shirley]

I rewatched the Christmas Special and it reduced me to tears AGAIN.

[nonnatushouse1]

Nonnatus House took some heavy losses tonight. Sister Hilda gone, Sister Frances out of action, Trixie moving away to be married soon... Are we seriously down to Nancy, Phyllis and Sisters Julienne and Monica Joan living at Nonnatus?!
