father-daughter time

[robin lee]

Are these sentences correct?

If I remember, your daughter Ling will be home for Christmas this weekend. I wish you have a wonderful father-daughter time. It is wonderful that she is home and you both can celebrate Christmas together. I am sure you both have lots to catch up having not seen each other for almost a year.

I would keep the article before the first "wonderful".

I find "a wonderful father-daughter time" unnatural. I would find "a wonderful time" OK but, for me, the uncountable "father-daughter time" sounds better.

How about some wonderful father-daughter time?

 

[teechar]

I find "a wonderful father-daughter time" unnatural.

To me, the version without the article sounds unnatural. I mean leaving out the adjectival "father-daughter" would leave "I hope you have wonderful time"; and that doesn't work for me.
