    Spotted on Sunday

    Christmas reeves

    Oh, come on. Nothing wrong with that. It's English as it is now spoken in this country. After all, they didn't stick a possessive apostrophe in there, as per:
    Yuletide Log's Here

    Christmas Tree's Now For Collection

    In store Bargain's

    or even omit it:
    Why not make someones Christmas??

    (All recently encountered. And almost too painful to dwell on. . .) :(

    I don't get it :(

    What's the mistake? What are reeves and what should the sign say?

    Or should it be Christmas Eve's ?

    Sorry, having a blonde moment - would be thrilled if someone could enlighten me :)

    One near me:

    student houes for rent.

    Someone must have told them of their mistake and there is a big arrow underneath where the other s should be with a big s above it.
