HOLIDAY STRESS MADE EASIER TO HANDLE                 by J. Boyd, Sr. V. P. Marketing & Operations, AAAAA Rent-A-Space The Holiday Season is one of the busiest times of the year. Frequently our friends, neighbors and ourselves say we just don't know how we’re going to get everything done before Christmas.  For families with children where both parents work, their free time is already at a premium. Some preplanning and organization helps enormously, and storage can clear the deck for action, all easing the stress.  Start by using a planning calendar where everyone can see and write on it.  Get family members together in a brief meeting to list all events on the same calendar.  This helps eliminate double booking dates                          If relatives are coming, plan two weekends in advance to clean out and organize closets and spare rooms. Take the extra furniture, boxes, clothes and sports

It’s the Holiday Season ~ being good to our fellow man & woman Is part of the spirit of Christmas MANAGER AT 5A RENT-A-SPACE GOES WAY BEYOND REGULAR CUSTOMER SERVICE! December 2011, one 5A Rent-A-Space  manager was inquiring of a local senior citizen who came into his office, how he was doing in his readiness for the holidays.  The gentleman said he wasn't ready because all their decorations were in the attic at his home, and he was dreading the chore of going up there to retrieve them. He really wished he had somewhere else to store them. 5A’s manager suggested storing the decorations in a small, ground floor storage unit, thus enabling him to get at them easily every year. The fellow agreed, that would be an excellent solution, but said his aches and pains made it nearly impossible for him to get up into the attic, let alone cart all those boxes down to the main floor in his home then load them in his car and get them to storage.
