Are you one of many who dreads packing decorations away?

Laurie decorates for Holiday AssistantsI have seen some amazing decorations this holiday season – from botanical garden displays and a snow lane in Bellevue to the grand tree in downtown Seattle to unbelievably imaginative light displays on peoples’ homes.  What a fun time of year to share in the delights and decorations of the season!  There is a lot of work that goes into making these magical displays something for everyone to enjoy.

I am definitely one of those people who loves seeing the result of my work.  That’s one of the best parts about working at Holiday Assistants – the gratification is always there!  The gratification is of course sweeter when putting up the decorations, but it’s also there when packing the decorations away and relieving our clients the hassle of organization and packing each ornament carefully.  It takes a fraction of the time to pack away as it does to decorate and our clients always ask us how this is possible because it takes them forever!  It’s pretty simple, we love organizing which means we do it with a positive attitude and we aren’t personally attached the decorations.  Isn’t part of the time spent reminiscing about the ornament before packing it carefully away? ” …remember when Aunt Hilary gave this to us just after you were born?  She was visiting us from Oklahoma where she was working at the time as a ….” and so the story goes on and on.  While we do appreciate beautiful ornaments, we stay focused in the task at hand.

Why not relax in the bliss of the season and leave the packing away to professionals?  We love doing it, and you can keep the memory of how great your home looked without thinking about how long it took you to put all those decorations away and how you have no idea how you managed to get that tree back out the door!  We’re here (and happy) to help!

Best,

Heather
