Yule visitor (5)
I believe the answer is:
santa
'yule visitor' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for santa that I've seen before include "generous figure" , "A children's favourite may" , "He comes down chimney" , "Dad in a red and white outfit?" , "Midwinter gift bringer" .)
