Santa shares Christmas message ahead of annual flight MILWAUKEE - He sees you when you’re sleeping. He knows when you’re awake -- and on Christmas Eve, he will make his annual trip around the world. Santa Claus sat down with FOX6 News before he packed up his sleigh and the reindeer flew off into the sky. Santa said that he checked the nice list twice and the elves "have been working overtime in the workshop." The reindeer are also ready for the trip. "Their antlers are growing larger than ever. A lot of people don’t know, but that’s what helps drive Santa’s sleigh. The antlers catch the children’s wishes," Santa said.
