Is moving during Thanksgiving possible? This is what several people have asked us, and yes, it is possible to move during the week of Thanksgiving. However, keep in mind that most professional movers are going to give workers a four day weekend this week, as we want to make sure that they too have time with family. For those who are planning on movers picking up their items once Thanksgiving has passed, they may be spending this holiday weekend packing. We have a few tips that can help you with packing and moving during this holiday, so that you not only get this done, but you also get to enjoy time with friends and family!

1.  Do take time to enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner…or two, it may mean putting down the tape and the boxes, but don’t miss out on this holiday just because you feel as though you should be packing and moving your items.

2.  Try not to overexert yourself and work for hours upon hours on packing. Some people feel that they should work on this straight through the night, but in doing so, you can make your productivity decrease significantly, meaning that you are not making any headway on this packing.

3.  Have a time frame for when each room needs to be packed into a box. Do remember to keep out those things that you are going to need after the movers have collected your boxes and you are in your new home.

4.  If you have family coming in to stay during Thanksgiving, you may want to recommend a hotel or another relatives home. Since you are planning on moving, chances are you have boxes and clutter everywhere to pack, adding relatives into this chaos can make the situation worse.

5.  Don’t pass up help if you have several family members coming in for Thanksgiving. It can be a great help for these relatives to help with packing after having a great Thanksgiving feast!
