Tough crowd!  She's wearing modern shoes with closed toes, pants, and a shirt that literally calls back to her family's ridiculous rules and there are still 35 things wrong with what she's doing.

I completely get this (very simple) rule when it comes to just plurals, but I did find myself just a mite torn when I was making "Welcome" slates a while back, because it seemed to me that if the name might be in reference to the abode, a apostrophe might be justified even though it kind of made my teeth itch to do it. If you have a sign on your door saying "Welcome....The Smiths", that works if you feel that the sign is saying that  the Smiths welcome you, but mightn't it also work to say,"Welcome...The Smith's" if you were meaning that the Smiths welcome you to the home that they own? I generally just gave people the option of how they preferred it in any case.

The apostrophe still would have to go at the end of Smiths, because it's plural. There are multiple Smiths. The apostrophe does delininate intent, in this case either the people themselves or an assumed object (the house). If one puts out a welcome mat, the apostrophe is typically absent. 

eta: Even the Seewalds got it right on their sign. It says something to the effect of: The Seewalds, est. 2014. It's not the house that was established, even though the sign resides in the house, it's the couple.

Pssst......Hey, Jinge, if you're reading here......here's all you have to do....

1.Get a black Sharpie and open up the top of the O. Then color over the apostrophe with the same black marker.

2. Get out your pink nail polish and close up the top of the U.

I ordered a monogrammed nap pad for my son at a craft show. They spelled his name wrong and then wanted to argue about it.

I ordered address labels once, and instead of printing Harold, they printed Howard.  When I called to complain, they asked me if I was sure I hadn't told them Howard!

I hate when people use the possessive on family name plaques.  But maybe they're taking a page from Scottish chieftains and they actually MEAN The Vuolo's, since Jeremy is the head of the household!

No.  The apostrophe indicates a possessive, i. e. belonging to the Smiths.  The  only correct application with an apostrophe would be Welcome to the Smiths' (with home either implied or stated) as that is the correct plural possessive.  The whole concept is just grammatically awkward, imo.

Jeremy isn’t a Duggar so he probably grew up eating pork.  I wouldn’t give up ham for anyone.

Jinger's smile looks so forced and her eyes go kind of dead when she's in photos with her parents. It's so much more noticeable to me now that I've seen her really smiling and happy with Jeremee.

It's like she's being forced to take a picture with people she can't stand to be around. Oh, wait. 

I will say, Michelle almost looks normal in the picture for once.

Yeah, that was a real brain-glitch moment for me...usually I'm pretty good with stuff like that. Thanks to you and Sew Sumi for clarifying. I think that's another one of those things where I've gotten so used to seeing the error that my mind came up with a justification for it.

I wonder if Jim Bob's new shorter hair is due to lack of hairspray funds.  He almost looks normal too.  A little less plastic with the crows feet, like ordinary men his age usually have. 

I don't think Jinger has dead eyes around her folks, I think she now has OPENED eyes.  To who and what they really are, but she loves them anyway.

And I think Jeremy has helped make that happen.  I don't think the Jinger we see now is who she'd be if she was sold to  married off to a marginal guy her age, with a super-fundy educational and work background.  YMMV.

"Good" Italian sausage just can't be made out of turkey, sorry. I'm sure Jeremy enjoyed and enjoys a good Italian sausage used in many recipes. Jinger  has to eat it too. After all, Jeremy's 'in charge' of what is a sin in the VOULO'S household. See what I did there?

OMG, I think I just need to go to Prayer Closet for letting my mind go wandering like that. Since, I have to do my penance, I’m going to say Jinger’s door decoration was tacky as fuck.  I get that it might have been a gift and they didn’t want to offend, but still.

And Jinger probably got a lecture for wearing pants and for wearing that eye trap top, hence the coat done up to the neck. It was cold that day as well.

A. It's so obvious that Michelle's teeth are so artificially 'white', they're fluorescent white...B. I didn't intend for the Italian 'sausage' comment to mean anything else but Italian sausage on the plate, ie, pizzaiola, in ragu', sausage & peppers, etc.  Arwen Evenstar...you made me laugh with your post! 

I hope the Duggalos have a real, nice Italian Christmas Eve and Christmas day...good antipasto, great food and DRINK, good Italian pastries.

Wasn't that exposed as just another of their self-serving lies? I'm almost sure that the Duggars have been caught eating bacon or pork rinds or something like that.

I know you totally meant it to be an innocent post....just my filthy little mind working overtime.  

Italian Christmas Eve feast sounds so amazing, and I’ve never been to one.  Do you think the Vuolos would host “the feast of the seven fishes”?  Is that simply a culinary tradition, or does it have religious overtones, as in being a Catholic thing? Lighten up, Chuck and Di, it’s just food—it doesn’t have a religion!

(Anyone thinking of the show with the guy named Martin and his ex wife brought a ham to their family meal?  They were Jewish, and Judith said, “it’s just meat; it doesn’t have a religion!”)

That is a very good picture of Jinger, Jeremy, Michelle, JB.

They all look normal and Michelle's hair has moved out of the 80's, for the moment.  Her hair was decent at Joe's wedding also. Maybe Jinger is trying to reason with her about her hair? Michelle has the denim jacket now too. 

If Jinger can get Michelle to look a teeny bit more contemporary, she is a miracle worker.

Traditional Italian-American Christmas Eve dinner is to 'fast' from meats the evening before the celebration of Jesus's entrance in to this world, ie Christmas. The '7' signifies, at least in my Italian family, the 7 sacraments of the Roman Catholic Church. Of course, the Italians,, make a feast in itself in the fasting from meat...we have linguini with clam sauce, (first dish), then baked baccala, (cod fish), squid, octopus, fried smelts, stuffed mushrooms, fennel, fresh baked nuts and yes, we have dessert and coffee. After that, we have liquors...like Amaretto, Frangelico,, etc..

Each family has the exact fishes that are customary to their own family...but this is a good outline.

For Christmas Day, Jinger COULD look forward to a wonderful antipasto platter which consists of genoa salami, cappicola, prosciutto, sliced ham, mortadella (imported), provolone chunks, assorted olives with good Italian bread....then comes the main dish, usually, some baked type of pasta...lasagna, manicotti or ravioli with the "meat from the gravy" to follow; ie,, homemade meatballs, braciola and Italian sausage..salad....fruit....nuts yet again and Italian pastries...cannoli, sfogiatelle, 7 layer cookies, sesame cookies, RUM babas, (yes, rum), etc. or a Sicilian Cassatta cake with coffee, either "brown" or black Italian coffee. Of course, plenty of funny stories laughed about, MUSIC, dancing, many HUGS, not SIDE HUGS being passed around and of course, kisses and telling the family how much we love them....PRESENT opening too.

I hope she experiences some of this genuine love and warmth with some of Jeremy's Italian relatives. Hopefully they still keep up these wonderful traditions...It IS all about Jesus' birth.

Sorry if I veered off topic a bit, but this is what Jinger could be looking forward to.

Of course she did...her shoulder is pressed up against his pec. Look at her astoundingly normal face. She flashing back to age 15, before she met JB.

Amen..... she looks fine. Although, her quilted vest is a men's style, which hopefully does not mean she's covering up a bump with Babe's (nice) vest. Maybe she was just cold.

This is predicated on Jinger not being pregnant. I wonder how many times she was asked if she is pregnant. I also wonder how many times Donkey Face made digs at Jeremy for not being fruitful and multiplying.  It really has to bother Boob that Jeremy did not fall in line, and under his thumb. Sadly whoever courts a Duggar daughter next is going to get a lot thrown at him, simply because Dim Bulb is frustrated.

 I was thinking ginger (jinger) is a spice (isn't it?) And maybe she thinks "babe" is sweet like sugar. But now I think you may be right. (But don't you show more than this before you can find out of its a boy or girl?)

They're going to wait until the "Is Jinger PREGNANT?" speculation to die down at this point. Then once it dies down they'll finally have a kid.

Typing out Is Jinger PREGNANT reminds me of something from Yahoo! Answers.

I wonder if Boob made some stupid remark again, like when he said JereMe's closet stunk (or is it stank?)  

I hope Boob is royally pissed that the Vuolos aren't expecting a blessing (at least not that they've announced.)
