Reindeer

This year has been different to say the least.  One example being that until recently I have not "been in the mood for Christmas."  I have felt as if I was watching Christmas but not living or enjoying it.  I love creating "magic moments" during the holidays for my family, but this year creativity and magic moments have been nonexistent.  Boxes, cleaning and saying goodbye have consumed my very being.  All are very necessary and good; but have left me very, very tired.
Our arrival to our new home has not lessened the sweet sorrow of goodbyes or the staggering impact of moving.
  What is has done, though, has been truly amazing. 
  I have been able to relax and enjoy the "magic moments" that are being created all around us.

how do you prepare?

We are moving to Alaska.  I can't quite get my head around it.  We have grown accustom to sunshine and convenience.  We are going somewhere with not much of either.  
How do we prepare?
