Help ! Does this sound weird ?

I've ordered my dd and her partner a Xmas bauble as they are buying their first house together

I got it inscribed with their names and "for every Christmas you spend together "
Love mum

Does that sound weird ? Does it sound like I aren't expecting them to last ? I'm panicking now .

I think it's a wonderful thoughtful gift OP.
I think they will love it! Even more special for the lovely words. X

And rest assured it doesn't sound anything like you're not expecting them to last. If anything it suggests the opposite x

Lovely idea op. If my MIL got that for me I'd cherish it.

Well I guess you could interpret it like that but if they have a sense of humour it should be fine. They can get it out every Christmas and laugh that they are still together.
I wouldn’t think it means you want them not to last.

Lovely pressie. Yeah, the wording is a bit strange tbh, does imply they'll not spend all
Christmases together. But don't over think it, they'll know what you're trying to say and love it.

I've cancelled. Need a rethink.

Why not something like...

Name and Name
First Christmas in your new home
2022

Lovely present idea, but I would rethink the wording. You could keep it simple and just have the year on it and it may be something you could do every year.

ConfusedGin · 02/12/2022 13:52

As it's to mark their first year in this home, could you add the road name and year (and then somehow remember to replicate every Christmas that they have moved)

“The first of many happy Christmases in your new home” perhaps?

It does sound a bit morbid… glad you were able to cancel!

That’s lovely wording.
