T’is the season to be jolly! The season to be festive! The season to be… careful?
We’re serious. A recent poll has revealed the most common seasonal scrapes, aches and pains as a result of our Christmas festivities.
Catching a cold and slipping on ice take the top two spots for causes of seasonal aches and pains.
Other common complaints include: indigestion from over-indulgence, paper cuts from present-wrapping and tension headaches from all the pressure of preparations.
Phew.
However, the poll, carried out by Panadol, showed that the benefits far outweigh the risks, with the vast majority of people looking forward to the festive season.
So what are we to look out for?
Watch your back guys… Christmas is about…
