Christmas Card PSA

[hellziggy]

OK people. I know some of you are doing Christmas cards. For *insert diety here*'s sake, when you put the family name, DON'T USE AN APOSTROPHE!!!!
correct: The Smiths
incorrect: The Bush's
correct: The Stewarts
incorrect: The Cheney's
correct: The Snyders
incorrect: The Schneider's

If you do, I will be focused on how much it annoys me rather than how cute the picture of you/your kids/your pets is.
Thank you.

p.s. If your name ends in "S", it doesn't matter what you do because that one always confuses me.

Hee! This is a fabulous post. The apostrophe thing drives me nuts, too.

The apostrophe is perfectly appropriate when I'm sending a card to their house. I don't like many people enough to send them cards, but I really, really love some of their homes.
