May all the sunshine with you and your family

Hi,

Do you say:

May all the sunshine shine on you and your family

while giving others your blessing?

It's not at all a common expression, but I'd be happy if someone said that to me.

Best wishes, Clive

May all the sunshine shine onyou and your family, Clive.

May the sun shine on you and your family would be an easier way of expressing it.

Not a known expression in English, but we'd get your meaning!

try this search at Yahoo:
"may the sunshine be"
(the quotations are important)
and you will find several related examples
some seem to be related to religious celebrations

And then there's this one:

May those who love us, love us.
And for those who don’t love us,
May *** turn their hearts.
And if He doesn’t turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles,
So we’ll know them by their limping.

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

Grammar Geek - your post reminded me of this one:

Before you criticize another person, you should walk a mile in his shoes.

That way, when you do criticize him, you'll be a mile away. And you'll have his shoes.
