Tips for Tackling a Move During the Holidays

Here Come the Holidays!

With all the holiday traditions, shopping, parties, and other obligations piling up, packing for a move does not help minimize the stress.  Getting ready for the holidays is exciting and so is a move!  Moving during the hectic holiday season doesn’t have to be difficult or interrupt your holiday plans and traditions.  By following these simple tips from Shleppers Moving & Storage, you’ll be able to efficiently pack all your while still enjoying your usual festivities.

Packing Early – Give yourself plenty of time and start packing as early as possible. Go room to room and start packing as much as you can especially items you won’t need right away like off-season clothes, extra bedding, etc.  As the moving date starts to close in, pack a few boxes a week so you still have time to enjoy the holidays. If you run out of time, long distance moving company, Shleppers Moving & Storage, will have your items packed and ready to move within a few hours.

Declutter, Declutter, Declutter – This is the perfect time to go through everything and get rid of all junk, unnecessary or broken items. Tackle the clutter and either donate to a local charity or shelter, sell for cash, or throw out.  Clutter adds excessive stress and additional moving boxes that take up space from necessary items.  Need help with decluttering?  Check out our junk removal services.

Call Movers in Advance – One of the busiest times to move is during the holidays, which means moving companies get booked quickly. Call and schedule a day to move at least 3-4 weeks ahead of your moving date so you have a moving company available to help you.

Minimal Decorations – Try to keep it simple this year and don’t go overboard with decorations. Keep with traditions and decorate the house but don’t overdo it.  Depending on when you move, keep your decorations close so that when you move to your new house you can grab them right when you get to your new home!

Keep Family Occupied – Enjoy the holidays and avoid stress by doing what you normally do. Stick to your scheduled calendar and squeeze in all the traditions your family does.  Go out and have fun in your community whether it is bringing your children to see Santa, drinking hot cocoa, going to a light festival or a tree lighting. This will help minimize stress and is the perfect getaway from all the moving and packing stress.
