Moving during the holidays is the last thing anyone wants to do but if you plan for it and coordinate it properly, it won’t interfere with the festivities.

Sometimes you have no control over when your lease ends, or if your landlord has sold the property you are renting and needs you to vacate for the new owners to move in. Unfortunately, this can happen at inconvenient times such as during the December holidays.

However, the important thing is to plan for it and to make sure that you don’t miss out on your important family traditions and quality time with loved ones just because you are moving.

In this article, we share some tips on moving during the holidays.

Tips for Moving During the Holidays

Schedule Your Move

Try and schedule your move in advance and aim to move between Christmas and New Year. Most people take this time off to spend with their family relaxing at home or on the beach. This will give you time to focus on moving and unpacking your essentials before it’s time to welcome in the new year.

Label Your Boxes

Although it’s always a good idea to clearly label your boxes when you move, doing so when you have to move during the festive season is even more important. You will want to know exactly where your crockery, drinking glasses, decorations, and festive wear are so that you can access them quickly and easily.

Pack Your Important Boxes Last

Make sure that you pack all the boxes that you need to unpack first right at the end. This will help you know exactly where everything is that you need to unpack as soon as you get to your new home. Be sure to offload these boxes first and put them somewhere where they won’t get lost between the rest of your boxes and furniture. Unpack these as soon as you can so that you can feel a bit more settled in your new space before New Year’s eve.

Take it Easy

Moving is stressful enough as it is and moving over the festive season can make it even more intense. Easily our most important tip during this time is to take it easy on yourself. Try not to put too much pressure on yourself to have everything perfect. Just keep out what you need, pack the rest away, and when you move into your new home, unpack your essentials first, organize the necessities, and enjoy your well-deserved time off before a crazy new year begins.
