santa

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'travels everywhere return' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'on one day with dancer's boss' is the wordplay.
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'one' becomes 'a'.
'day' becomes 'sat' (I've seen this before).
'with' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'dancer's boss' becomes 'n' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'sat' enclosing 'n' is 'sant'.
'a' put after 'sant' is 'SANTA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for santa that I've seen before include "generous visitor" , "distributer of goodies" , "He comes down chimney" , "patron at Christmas" , "& 22 Father Christmas" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times and the Irish Times (Crosaire).
