The US observes several holidays and celebrations during the month of December. It is a month filled by lots of celebrations all through the country despite the continuous drop in temperatures. Some of the special celebrations include Hannukah, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Eve. During this season there is a lot of cooking, family and reunions, as well as relocations/moves. Planning to move during this busy time? Read on.
How to have a merry move during the holidays
When you think of moving during this holiday season which is also coupled with windy cold weather, you can get exhausted and frustrated. However, there are some ways you can prepare for the move to make it easier. They include:
- The best decision you can make is to ensure that you hire a reliable mover. A reliable mover is licensed and bonded by the US Department of Transportation and is also a certified ProMover. This will ensure that you do not fall victim to rogue movers.
- Book your mover at least 6 weeks ahead of your planned moving date because many of them also close shop during the holidays.
- If moving right before the festivities, ensure that you pack an essentials box that will contain any necessary items such as decorations, gifts, gift wrappers and kitchenware for the holiday. This box should be among the priority items that you can easily get a hold off.
- Keep kids engaged with holiday themed activities so that you are able to pack without much disruption.
- Organize for cancelation or transfer of utilities early in advance because some of the providers close for the holiday season and you would not want to be inconvenienced during this time.
- In the giving spirit of the season, you can cut back on the items you would like to move. Donate what you don’t need to friends, family, colleagues or to charity.
- Seek advice from moving experts on how to pack and protect your property considering the weather conditions during the season. Ensure you have lots of waterproof wrapping material and bins.
- Considering the cold weather condition this season, it is important to ensure that you have the electricity and heat turned on in the new premises
- Have garments and outfits suited to the winter season; boots, hats, gloves and shovels.
- As people make lots of purchases during the holidays you can cut on your moving budget by requesting family and friends to assist you with packing boxes or try and get some from your local hardware. You can also enlist the help of your family and friends in packing and unpacking.
