"All God’s Creatures" Are Celebrated in 'All Creatures Great & Small's Christmas Finale
Make sure you have some tissues handy! The touching and emotionally charged Christmas episode of All Creatures Great & Small Season 5 has once again been tacked on directly onto the season itself by Masterpiece to serve as a holiday-themed finale. It’s now December 1942, and the course of the war has changed with the entry of the United States and Japan. It’s going to be hard to celebrate with loved ones facing danger far away and the everyday hardships of life at home.
"As long as there’s a chance, I have to keep believing he’ll come home."
But our family at Skeldale House is determined to celebrate Christmas and Jimmy Herriot’s first birthday as best they can. Siegfried brings home a Christmas tree, and James the holly, and Audrey Hall negotiates a very special Christmas dinner. Traditionally, there would be a lavish Christmas tea with an elaborate fruit cake, but Audrey decides to save the sugar and dried fruit for Christmas Eve and Jimmy’s birthday party.
