Jessica Claus

Jessica Claus was the schoolteacher of Sombertown before Kris Kringle started to bring the children toys. At first she did not condone the behaviour of Kris, who was breaking the law, he then gave her a baby doll and she fell in love with him right then and there. She decided to help him get toys into the city and helped craft plans such as, hiding toys in the stockings and going through the chimney. She was one of his best allies in the town and told him how to bring toys to the children without being caught. After Kris and the other Kringles were arrested, she with the Winter formulated a plan to free them. They used the magic pellats which he had to allow reindeer fly and escaped the prison through this means.

After the rescue was a success, she and Kris were married under the very first Christmas Tree. Later she would become Mrs. Claus.

She appears in the Rankin/Bass special Santa Claus is Comin' to Town
