How do I write this please?
16 Answers
I am making a Christmas card with a plaque in the corner, bearing the sentiment "tis the season to be jolly".
Do I print - Tis the season to be jolly - or - 'Tis the season to be jolly - or - 'tis the season to be jolly (bearing in mind that I am abbreviating 'it is'. (Or am I abbreviating 'it is'? Is tis an acceptable word in this instance?)
Many thanks for any replies, peeps. x

The one I'm reading at the moment has been a great read, except right near the end, the text reads You when it should be You're. Not enough room to ink it in....
Thanks peeps. I was thinking of 'Tis, but OH reckons it is wrong (what does he know!) :o)
Thanks Grasscarp, tbh I wouldn't be too bothered about the wording if this card was from me....I am being paid to make some personalised cards for someone I don't actually know so I want them to be right (but they probably won't notice).

Its from the carol "Deck the halls with boughs of holly" and on Wiki it is 'Tis but if you google it there are others sites where there is no apostrophe so its probably that in word processing its always a rule of no prenounication.
