🎄💌 Holiday PSA! Before those Christmas cards head out into the world, let’s make sure our family names are dressed just as beautifully as our trees and tablescapes. One of the biggest holiday grammar slip-ups? Adding apostrophes to last names. Apostrophes show possession… and unless your Christmas card is owned by the Smith family’s mailbox, you don’t need one. 😉 Your cards should use plural last names—that means simply making the name plural, not possessive. Here’s the rule that keeps it classy + correct every time: ✨ Add -ES if the name ends in s, x, z, ch, or sh ✨ Add -S to everything else ✨ Never use ’s or s’ for family names So: The Smiths The Joneses The Churches The Berrys Simple, chic, and grammatically polished—just how we like our holiday details. 🎁✨ Use this cheat sheet when addressing and signing your cards so your holiday mail is beautiful and correct this season.
