Babies first Christmas...

[UnaCorda]

Seen this so many times on SM. No, you only have one baby.

Expect I'm going to get flamed, but hey.

Defiantly agree with this

Not only that but without a possessive apostrophe it takes on a different meaning. Like it’s a different type of Christmas - a ‘Babies First’ Christmas.

In Tesco earlier they had “baby’s first Christmas” onesies.... in sizes 18-24 months.

An improvement on the "Friendly neighbourhood rapist" underpants they sold in the '70s...

Can I have a moan about a newspaper (just happens to be the Daily Mail) writing Boris's. Aargh!

@2020iscancelled that’s fantastic my baby was in 9-12 months by his First Christmas. (July born) if he would of been closer to one he would of needed 18-24 months it’s nice to see taller baby’s being cattered for.

@Calmandmeasured1 you are being unreasonable to call it a newspaper. But I'm with you.

Good point op! I wonder if all the other Mummy's will agree...

But that’s correct. Of a word ends in ‘s’ and is plural then no additional ‘s’ after the apostrophe. If it’s not plural then you do add another ‘s’.

Boris’s
The ministers’

Going by the poll, apparently not...

Both DH and I were definitely taught at school that if the personal name ends in an s, that there is no s added after the apostrophe. (There are some weird exceptions such as Jones to Joneses).

Having looked it upon several sites, it says that, generally, if you pronounce the extra s then you put one after the apostrophe. Otherwise you don't (except for some exceptions with some historical or religious names).
e.g.
James's latest album.
Kenny Rogers' latest album.
Jesus' crib.

Who knew? They didn't teach me that at school. Thanks for responding though as it will pull me up and make me think about it in future.

I feel like an annoying nit picker now. TBF anything written in the daily mail is garbage
