According to the NAH, over 1 in 40 (2.7) people have experienced an electric shock due to poorly wired Christmas lights and 600,000 have scalded themselves while roasting chestnuts on an open fire.
A cluttered household during the holidays can also add to the pressure for 18% of people, while 1 in 5 women and 1 in 10 men confess they're prone to rushing tasks amidst the seasonal frenzy.
With safety in mind, we must remember to take care when decking our halls - especially regarding electrical and fire hazards such as Christmas lights and yuletide fires.
The kitchen and hosting duties are major contributors to this tension, with over 13% of women (and significantly less men) feeling the heat when preparing the Christmas meal.
Yet the UK's National Accident Helpline (NAH) has unveiled stark findings on how the pursuit of a picture-perfect Christmas is causing "festive fear" and leading to injuries.
