Christmas is the most deadly time of year and Health.com has come up with 5 things that could kill you between now and Christmas.

First on the list is your Christmas tree.  About 40 people die in the U.S. every year from Christmas tree fires.  The cause is usually electrical problems or the tree being too close to a heater.

Believe it or not, over 6000 people go to the E.R.after hurting themselves cutting, slicing or stabbing things into the virtually impossible to get into plastic containers

Over 33,000 people get hurt on sleds every winter

Putting up decorations can also kill you this holiday.  Over 5000 head to the E.R. every Christmas due to a fall while putting up lights.

And lastly, more people die from heart attacks on Christmas day than any other day of the year.

Merry Christmas!
