Gobble, gobble – oh, dear. Do you think to yourself „no thanks“ when you think about relocating around the Chicago area during Thanksgiving? Well, you are not the only one, we must say. Many people dread the very thought of moving during the busy holiday season. When you have no other choice than to do it, it’s doable. Moreover, with a good plan and organization, it’s not only doable, but it can be quite a pleasant experience. If you prepare well for your Thanksgiving move, there are going to be more things to be thankful for. Here are some pieces of advice and tips to help you out.
Plan Your Thanksgiving Move Ahead Of Time
Let’s face it, things always get crazy in the city area during holidays, and Thanksgiving is not an exception. Before you decide this is mission impossible, take a deep breath. You can organize anything if you plan enough time ahead! Same goes with relocating during Thanksgiving. At first, you will have to whip out your calendar and check all your busy days and the ones when you know you’ll be able to get things done. Make sure to give yourself enough time not only to prepare and pack but also to unpack and unwind when you’re done with relocating.
Hire Professional Team of Chicago Movers
Having pro relocating team at your service is always a good idea, but it’s a must if you are relocating during the holiday season. More importantly, you will have to do more research about the Chicago moving companies during Thanksgiving because you have to bear in mind – not all windy city movers and relocators are available during holidays. However, you will be able to find a professional team even during the holidays. What you need to do is to book them in advance – do not wait for too long and get to searching as early as possible.
One more issue about relocations during holidays is the fact that the moving companies will charge more than usual. Don’t get choked on your Thanksgiving relocation bill from your ‘trusty’ movers – do your research and schedule on-site estimates on time. Even though it might cost more, you will still be able to find some good deals if you act soon enough.
Every Day Is a Holiday
Thanksgiving is one of our biggest holidays and many families spend amazing time together at that time. However, you are destined to be covered in cardboard boxes, styrofoam, and all that jazz. Don’t worry – you can have a great time with your family and friends any time you decide to do so! You can postpone your Thanksgiving if you have to. After a successful move, you’ll have one more good reason to celebrate. Your turkey is waiting for you!
Take Time To Breathe
Relocating plus holiday season can be overwhelming. Maybe you will get too stressed out, or even overly emotional if you have to move to (or away from) Chicago during family holidays. Observe the situation from another perspective and see all the advantages of relocating at this moment. Be thankful for the new opportunities and life challenges – that’s what Thanksgiving is all about.
