I once worked at a bank, in the IT department. They gave all employees, some 500+ of us, the same xmas present every year.
A 12 pack of tuna. Seriously. _____________________

We get no xmas bonus.
 On the other hand, we get 9 days paid vacation between semesters, so I can't complain tooooo much.  This year, I am taking vacation time as well... I have off from 12/17 - 1/2. Now that's an xmas bonus. -Ghoti _____________________

Same as you Ghoti--5 days of paid leave, and our office Christmas party involves serving a holiday dinner to community elders and forcing them to sit through whatever funky kind of entertainment college professors and office professionals can come up with.

O.o i hadn't even thought about christmas bonuses. this will be my first christmas at a fairly new job, so i have no idea what they do. i did find out they give everyone $50 on their birthday, so i'm guessing a bonus is on it's way. yippeee! _____________________

WTH is a Christmas bonus? I would take that pack of tuna....oh wait, I just read that the Feds and the Tuna Industry aren't telling us how bad tuna is for us.

I suspect my Christmas bonus consists of getting to make "Aunt Gertrude" NOT look like a giant 578921038-year-old prune, and taking "Uncle Ernie's" face from one pic, and plopping it on another because he looked drunk (well, ok, so he was). This instead of plopping hundreds of school pictures into class composites.
Which actually sounds pretty good to me. I. Hate. Templates. (I do photo-editing for a photography studio, btw. ^_^) EDIT: Wow, I thought for sure I had posted before. |

Last year I was relatively new at my job (8-months or so?) and I got like $750 for Christmas. I was like 'Holy crap.' But I quit the following June and moved out of state. This year will be nothing, because I just started doing boring web programming for the university. Oh well.

Seriously. 500*12==6000/365.242==16.427 cans of tuna rubbed into the manager's tire treads every morning for a year (I recommend using only 16 per day and waiting until the summer months to use the year's allowance of .427's). _____________________

Last year my company gave me a $20 gift card to Walmart, which is pretty much equivalent to giving an atheist the Book of Mormon.

Heh, back in the mid 80's while working part time at a photo lab I got a christmas bonus check for $5. I didn't have a bank account at the time so it cost me $3 to cash it

I get 10 days off, 3 of which I have to use my own saved vacation days. I'm also being forced to go to our holiday party. Well, not 'forced' but it is "strongly recommended" that I attend.
