How does Santa enter homes without chimneys? What happens if a reindeer gets sick? Find out here.
White Lake-Highland Patch scored an exclusive interview with Santa at his family's cabin in White Lake. Taking a small break before gearing up for Monday night's deliveries, Santa sat down with Local Editor Brooke Tajer to answer some of the most asked questions by kids. Erin: What do you do if there is a fire in the fireplace? Santa: That's pretty easy. I've been given a magic key. There are a lot of boys and girls who don't have a fireplace. This magic key allows me to go in the front door of those home on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day only. Erin: Have you even been bitten by a dog? Santa: No, because Christmas Magic takes over.

Cheaper by the Dozen shows are this Friday and Saturday at Milford High School in Highland.
The following was written by Kate Phillips. When 16-year-old Alexis Stefanick of White Lake asked her dad to audition with her for a local staging of Cheaper by the Dozen, he hesitated. He hadn't been in a play since his own school days. But he decided to go for it, because he wanted to spend time with his daughter before she finishes high school and leaves home. "There may not be many more chances left," explained Bob Stefanick of White Lake.
