Christmas Hacks for the New Homeowner

Christmas Hacks- Beltmann Relocation BlogHave you recently made the big move to Kansas City and about to go crazy settling in during the holidays? Hopefully, you’ve let us do all the heavy lifting for you. But if you’re busy adjusting to the new house and needing a few good holiday hacks, here’s a list for starters.

Go DIY with the decorations. Wanting to decorate your new home but don’t have a lot of extra time or energy? Go natural. Take things like pine cones and use them to accent your home. Extra points if you paint the pine cones in white, red, or green! If you do a quick search on Pinterest you are bound to find more ideas than you have time to complete the craft.

Let your kids help out. Children usually love decorating for the holidays. What a better way to remember your first Christmas in the new home than letting your kids do their own special decorating? You might find that they’re craftier than you think. And even if the decorations don’t look as snazzy as you might like, the personal touch of your kids will bring a special warmth to the home.

Easy alternatives to wrapping paper. If you’re needing to wrap some gifts but don’t have the time to run to the store for more wrapping paper, don’t freak out. There are plenty of other options. Newspaper is the obvious go-to, but there are some other fun options, too. For instance, paper grocery store bags, leftover wallpaper, and tin foil can all make for some fun and creative wrapping options.
