How To Survive a Holiday Move

  1. Have a plan: Don’t just take things as they come; you need to have a plan. Prepare a schedule in advance and make sure you stick to it. Remember to include holiday activities; by relegating time for celebrating and moving you can ensure that you have the opportunity for both.
  2. Adapt: You may have to accept that not all traditions will be able to be kept during a move. It may be necessary to roll with the punches and replace or transform some holiday activities.
  3. Minimize: Reduce the scale of your holiday celebrations and omit some of the more time-consuming and stress-inducing traditions. Consider eating dinner out or joining friends or family for their meal.
  4. Prioritize: Pack away your less-used items and leave essentials until the end.  You want to make sure your home is still livable over the holidays. Keep in mind that it’s okay to leave out your decorations. Your house can be festive for the holidays, even during a move!
  5. Delegate: Don’t attempt to do it all yourself, you’ll only wind up ruining your move and your holidays. Accept the generous offers of family and friends, many hands make light work!
  6. Leave it to the professionals: Let us take care of your move so you can relax and enjoy your holidays. Hazelwood will pack your belongings for you, leaving you free to celebrate.We also provide all moving materials such as packing tape, packing paper and boxes of all sizes, Another great option to consider is the rental of a storage unit to reduce clutter and stress.
  7. Don’t forget to celebrate: Keep your holiday spirits high. Take the time to visit with loved ones and enjoy the beauty of the holiday season.

Make Hazelwood your holiday moving experts; we pack, we shop, we store, we save you precious time so you can enjoy the holiday festivities.
