From Our Family to Yours

[doadeer]

... Is this a new expression?

Everywhere I look on social media I keep seeing it in relation to Merry Chrismas or Happy Holidays (I work with lots of US companies so I'm used to this one)

From Our Family to Yours

... A lot of time they are companies saying this. It is just me or is it a cringey expression? Is it new?

Not new, I've seen it in previous years.

What’s wrong with it? Isn’t it just a less wordy generic version of “to XYZ, love from A, B, C and D”?

Don’t see anything wrong with it

Makes me want to vomit! It’s very cringe inducing

It seems like everything anyone says (especially on social media) is likely to make at least one person cringe. It's a bit twee, and I don't say it, but this one goes over my head.

@MamImHere no im sorry please don't be embarrassed I meant really when companies say it rather than actual families!

I have a large enough family.

Saves me writing every ones name.

AWhat I have come to realise with the increase in internet use pretty much everything I do, say or own will be shit or twee to someone on the planet.

So now I dont really give a fuck anymore. I chose to say, post and buy things I want to.

My Dad was on card writing duty this year as Mum hasn't been well and she usually does it. My cousin sent a picture of a card addressed to 'Cousin & DP' from 'Mum name, Dad name & the rest xx'

If it's a printed greeting (rather than a personal one written knowing who it's going to) it's rather presumptuous. What if the recipiant doesn't have a family? It's very excluding.

If you don't want it for sending to a family, simply don't buy that card!!

I've seen this all over social media this year. Can't say I've seen it that much before.

Is it an American thing?
I have also seen it on social media a lot the last few years.

I don't particularly like it as a saying. Our parents were similar to a pp and it used to be from X, Y and "the lads" being the six kids, mostly female funnily enough yet collectively known as the lads.

I've only seen it on Facebook and LinkedIn not on cards
