How to Move During Christmas

Packing and moving is very stressful no matter what time of year you relocate. Combine the hassle of moving with the holiday season, and you might just feel downright overwhelmed. Fortunately, you can make the holiday move easier on your family with a few tips for moving during Christmas. 

Choose the Best Date for Your Move 

While moving during the holiday season isn’t ideal, you may still have a little control over your exact moving date. If possible, move after December 25. Succinctly stated, the week leading up to New Year’s Eve is generally relaxing and slow-paced, giving you the perfect time to execute your holiday move without taking more time off work. This might also give you the opportunity to coordinate your move expeditiously with help from DFW Packing Pros.  

Keep the Holiday Spirit Alive 

If possible, keep the tree and other Christmas decorations up until the last minute, especially if you have small children at home. This helps maintain the Christmas spirit, even though you have the upcoming move on your mind. Hire a professional moving such as DFW Packing Pros, to pack boxes in the garage, basement or other spare room to keep the living area as normal and uncluttered as possible through the holiday season. Then, as the move approaches, start packing up all but the essentials. Otherwise, you’ll be left with too many tasks to complete at the last minute.   

Prepare for Inclement Weather 

You might typically wish for a white or cold Christmas, but not when you move over the holidays! Still, since you can’t control the weather, your best bet is to prepare for inclement weather. Leave coats, hats, scarves and gloves unpacked, as well as de-icing tools. Even if the forecast doesn’t call for cold weather, it never hurts to be prepared. 

Share Your New Address with Friends and Family 

In the hustle and bustle of relocating to your new home, you might forget to pass on your new address to family and friends. It’s important to share this information no matter what time of year you move, but with Christmas gifts, cards and other deliveries coming through the mail this time of year, it’s that much more vital. Ask loved ones to wait until after you move to send packages and cards, just to make sure they reach your new home.
