Christmas card pet peeve

Actually, it would be more of a return address label peeve, but it relates to the family Christmas cards I sent out this year.

See, our last name is French, let's just say that it's "Eiffel." Okay, so I get these really nice return address labels made up that say "The Eiffels," meaning, you know, all of us. Inside the card, however, it clearly says "The Eiffel Family."

No one seemed to have spotted the difference, because we've gotten cards back from family and friends (mostly mine, but one was a close friend of Husband's) and they were addressed to, you guessed it, "Husband and GroovyVic Eiffels."

Grrr....

I swear before you all here and now that I'm just going to horde all the labels we get from State Farm, The RNC, the Veterans, who ever, and just use those! To hell with being fancy! At least they say "Husband and GroovyVic Eiffel."

Observation doesn't seem to be a particular strong point with my extended family. I know, I know, a French last name is hard to begin with, but read the feckin' card!
