Yenta Claus 

I love her because she loves me and brings me toys. She is the best Hanukkah magic ever!

I asked Yenta Claus to come to my house.

Yenta Claus 

Jewish folklore, a way cool older woman that's nice and really funny. She brings kids toys, especially us really good Jewish kids who Santa seems to forget, or who because we are Jewish, Santa isn't allowed to sneek into our houses by slipping down the chimney or if you live in an apartment with out a chimney altogether. Just don't tell Rabbi Ebenezer. Pretty please with icecream and sugar on top. I promise to be good all year if you let me believe.

"You'd better not kvetch, or eat chozzerai, You'd better not greps, I'm telling you why... Yenta Claus in coming to town!"

or

"She is such a nice Yenta! And to think we have a real Bubbie that brings the kinderlach such nice toys! Don't tell Rabbi Ebenezer about Yenta Claus or else it's no more toys and back to getting that nasty lump of coal!"

She must be some sort of Golem or my Bubbie dressed up as one. I really like her. She brings Jewish kids, well and anyone who else who believes in her too I guess, really nice toys and stuff just like Santa Claus only she is Jewish!

An older and very small jewish lady. I heard she looks like Dr Ruth. Maybe it is Dr Ruth dressed in a blue elf outfit? Any way, I heard sneeks around giving toys to the kids Santa forgets or isn't allowed to give toys to because someone, who never ask us kids first if that was OK or not, won't let him come to our houses because we are jewish. Is that true? Is there a Yenta Claus?

"Here comes Yenta Claus, here comes Yenta Claus driving down Yenta Claus Lane..........."

"Oy, what Joy! Yenta Claus is coming to town!"

"Yes Virginia, there really is a Yenta Claus"

I have a secret; her name is Yenta Claus. My secret brings me toys just like Santa Claus, just different. See, she is Jewish and no one else in the whole wide world knows about her because she is a secret.

I asked Yenta Claus for a new brother.
