We all like free gifts. That's why Santa Claus is loved by many. Here's how you can be a Santa through Finance- Being a good person -  Santa gives gifts to good people, remember? So, you have to be a good person by not wasting your money, not over-spending, not over-using your credit cards.  By having a budget, financial plan, disciplined spending and not falling for financial frauds, you can be a good person.
