All
the magic of Santa Barbara starts its effects at the end of
December 1987 in the appearance in the show of Santa Claus himself. Renamed Kris
Kringle, this is Julia Wainwright and Mason Capwell who meet him during an
audition of many Santa Claus for a charity gala, before coming to find his track
in his cabin, situated "in the North" of Santa Barbara.
Always
seen under the snow, the place abounds in colors and in heat. Once the front
door crossed, we penetrate into a
big lounge with a charged decoration.
On
the wall in front of the entry thrones a big fireplace permanently in service.
On its right, a door always closed gives access to a magic and livened up place
: the workshop of the elves where are made toys for all the children of the
world. This is also in this room that is stored the big red sled which Kris
Kringle uses only one night in the year. At Christmas 1988, it is Cruz Castillo
who will pilot the machine with one of the elves, Kris Kringle having injured
himself the day before.
Of
Kris' cabin, we then know only a big bedroom, situated on the floor. It is there
that Julia and Mason will spend - chastely - the night of Christmas 1987,
blocked in the cabin because of the snow falls.
