Moving into a new home during the holidays can be difficult and stressful. There are so many things to plan and prepare when it comes to either event, but to combine the two is extremely difficult. How are you going to celebrate the holidays while you are packing up your home?
If you stay on top of the process you can enjoy the holidays despite your move. Here are some ways you can do both!
- New Traditions - You might be used to big, homemade meals around the dining room table, but maybe you change it up a bit. Look for businesses that are open on that day and eat out or order in. You can have the same sort of meal or you can go completely out of the box. This allows you to pack up your kitchen beforehand so you can enjoy the day more.
- Create a Move Zone - Keep your jovial, holiday spirit separate from the pile of moving boxes and clutter by creating a moving zone. Put all of your boxes and items that are ready for the move in that room so you keep it out of the way.
- Go on Vacation- Pack and prepare your home for the move before the holidays arrive. Get everything ready to go then get out of town. Even if it is just the next town over, it may help your family relax and will allow you to enjoy the holidays without staring at blank walls, empty rooms, and moving boxes.
Take a look at the number of families who were able move and get settled prior to putting the turkey in the oven…
