However, almost one in five house proud homeowners (14.7 per cent) cite the risk of damage to their property as the reason for locking their doors and saying bah humbug to a party at home.

Interestingly, anxious male respondents lose more sleep over the prospect of Christmas domestic carnage than woman (16.2 per cent v 14 per cent) and even the traditional party heavyweights, the 16-24 year olds, claim to be too concerned about damaging their homes to risk throwing a party.
