Xmas card
I'm trying to write my name on our xmas cards, but, I'm finding it hard to view our last name which ends in a o.
It is okay to to write it like this. The Palermo's? Otherwise, it looks like our names is mos at the end.

I don't suppose anyone will mind although it is not strictly correct, it looks like the possessive singular. What about putting The Palermo family ?

well no you can not write it with apostrophe as it will change the meaning. You are right adding "s" will change your name itself. I can suggest some options like:
The Palermo family
from Palermo family
or you can actually add "s" as people who know you obviously know that your name is Paplermo nd palermos and hopefummy they will understand the added "s".
I hope i was a littl
The Palermo family
from Palermo family

An apostrophe is never used to form the plural of a family name.
You shouldn't worry; no one's going to think that the card has been signed by an individual or organisation called 'The Palermos'. If it still bothers you, you can always sign the card 'The Palermo Family' or 'Jack and Jill Palermo'.
