So every year you want to sign your holiday cards from the entire family. Like for example, From the Sheltons, or Aldeans.
Most people don't know the rules to this. It's very simple:
If your last name ends in "S, X, Z, ch, sh" you add an "es". Churches, Morrises, Lynches, Combses Yes. this is the rule.
For every other letter, you just add an "S" Chesneys, Bryans, Youngs, Tenpennys,
No apostrophes!!! Just either "es" or "s"
Glad we could clear that up.
