“We keep it dry”
This really is Santa’s workshop. That is, it’s Scott Avery’s workshop in Roberts Creek and every December, Avery becomes Santa. His natural white hair and beard – and his naturally gregarious personality – make Avery a natural Santa when he adds the red suit. He’s been listening to Christmas wish lists for 16 years now. See story page 16. ANNA NOBILE PHOTO
