Snow is falling (allegedly — as a snow loving Boston resident, I’m miffed). If you’re lucky, you have a friend who bakes, and you’re in possession of some truly remarkable cookies. Winter is here, and so is a drama fan favorite holiday tradition: the Call The Midwife Holiday Special! I’m here to recap the show just in case you missed it, or just couldn’t get enough of our favorite nurses, nuns, and other assorted denizens of Poplar.
