I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for a little over a year now. We live together, and have both met the important family and friends in each others lives. Christmas time is upon us, and I find myself a little bit lost as to how I would sign the Christmas cards this year. We are both divorced with children from our first marriages. My children live with us in one city. His children live about 800 miles away with their mother. Our children have spent some time together, as much as distance will permit. I have an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and I love his children as my own. My question is, how to sign the card? One suggestion a co-worker gave me was Him, Me and the Kids. I'm not sure if putting all the children's name would be okay. Please let me know what you think. THank you.

Here is a thought for you, I don't know how old the kids are and I don't know if the ages of his and yours are mixed, but, I think it would be cute to list His , yours, then the oldest child to the youngest child. That way with any kind of luck none of the kids will feel left out of that his were more important than yours or vise versa. What I am hoping here is that the ages of the kids are mixed. Even if they are not mixed, at least they will be listed from oldest to youngest.They will all feel like a part of your family by listing them all, there will be no question about who you are talking about when you write all the names as just writing and family.

I don't think it is appropriate for you to sign for the other children that live so far away. i think maybe you sign it "Joe, John and the kids" and then send each of your partners children special cards where each child in the house signs it along with you.

You are supposed to give Christmas cards before Christmas, Christmas is now over why would you give a card so late?

*if you have younger children sign it for them
*or if you have like more than 3 kids then just put "and family"

Honestly, it doesn't matter how you sign the card. your co- worker is right. You could also put the your last name and then family, so that way it includes every one. Really it doesn't matter, if someone gets offended, then they don't deserve a christmas card.

Just sign it by your first names. Ex.: Tom, Jane and the kids.

Why not just sign it " The Brewer's" or you get the drift.
No, you don't have to name off every name of the children.
Man if this what bothers you, I'd hate to see a real problem.

I think that if you are in the same household then you should sign the card with those in the household. Unless your mate asks you to sign it differently. Have you asked his opinion? Men like it when you ask their opinion.
