I don't get a Christmas bonus, but I get other little perks, such as a very generous compensation package for being on-call. Actually my boss took my department out to lunch yesterday. I get to go to conferences on the companies dime, and for some of the conferences I get to bring my family along. I'm not complaining about getting a bonus specifically for Christmas. If you consider the perks/extras then it is like Christmas all year long where I work.
At my last job, both of the owners slipped a $50 (each) in my Christmas card for two Christmas' in a row.
I volunteered at a place and on the last day before we closed for Christmas we closed at noon and the boss took us all out to lunch.
When I worked at Canadian Tire our Christmas bonus was a $25 gift certificate to.. Canadian Tire. The certificate came from the social committee. The same committee to which you were required to pay a yearly fee of $25.
When I worked at KFC the owner came in on Christmas even and handed out cash to whoever was working that evening. I think some people got more than others.
