I remember watching the movie "Christmas Vacation" when Chevy Chase is stewing while waiting on his Christmas bonus from his employer. I remember thinking how cool that was and wondered if people really got Christmas bonuses. Now that I am older I have many friends whose company does give them out. I thought it was only in the movies. I have never in my life received a Christmas bonus. I do know that one year a long time ago we all got coupons for a free turkey but that is as far as it has ever gone.

Most companies just throw a Christmas party and think that is enough to show their thanks for the year. It is very nice that they do this but I think I speak for most of us when I say we would rather have the cash it cost for the meal. How about you? Do you want an office Christmas party of a Christmas bonus?
