Where did this thing about not getting excited come from all of a sudden?
People keep saying "don't get too excited about Christmas yet!" this year, as if it's a common phrase. I never heard this last year, or any other year for that matter. I don't know how these things somehow appear in common usage, I don't know if a phrase gets passed around intentionally or if it just spreads because annoying people repeat it ad nauseum. But whichever is the cause, this is now apparently a turn of phrase.
The thing about these phrases that suddenly become a part of our vocabulary is that usually, there will always be people who claim they have been saying it for years and usually, you're pretty sure they've never ever said it before.
Oh and the other thing about this phrase - I hate it! Stop telling me not to get too excited: It's bloody Christmas and if I wanna regress to childhood and get hyper about it then let me!
