5. Someone Whispering €œHe€™s Been!€ At You

This is without doubt the best phrase you will ever hear in your whole life. Ever. These are the two words that will most likely wake you up on Christmas morning. Whether it€™s whispered gently into your ear by your folks if you€™ve miraculously slept longer than them, or yelled manically by a sibling. The minute you hear it you€™re instantly awake and you can feel the exhilaration building up in you. Santa hasn€™t forgotten you and the insane festive giddiness can begin. The nearest thing you get to a phrase like that in grown up world usually involve the words €œcheque€ and €œenclosed€ or €œmy€ and €œround€. As beautiful as they are, somehow they don€™t instil in you the same sense of romance.
