Sort of.
We got our annual christmas card with a $50 Wal-Mart gift certificate in it.
How about yourselves?

Being employed. We have reduced staff by almost half. I am gainfully employed, so that is my bonus.

The most I every got was a kosher turkey. It was pretty good; but, after working a couple hundred hours of OT a $5 turkey was pathetic.

I get a card with a Benji in it every year. Don't ask me how, but the benji from last year is still sitting on my nightstand!

One year I got a minature candy cane taped to my pay check. That is as good as it gets working for the State.

I get a sizeable Christmas bonus. It's the only bonus we get any more since we started the "no more raises from now on, we're only giving bonuses around here" policy started.

We have a very religious fella here who goes around and gives everyone a candy cane. Last year he gave everyone in the office one but me!

paycheck before Christmas break last year: envelope had a rubber-stamped holiday symbol of some sort......
church gives me an envelope, but for all it is, I just put it back in the offering. My choir buys me a present. I get some trinkets or candy from my students.

We get a pretty sizable chunk of change at Christmas but its known to most of us employees as "deferred compensation", ie, I don't make crap for my annual salary and its only the large chunk I get at Christmas (~36%) that puts me over the poverty line. I think our boss is trying to make us live on a budget but really he's forcing most of us to live on debt.

Used to get 10-15% raise and a 10-15% bonus every year. Haven't seen a raise in two years, my bonus last year was 25% smaller than the previous year.

No bonus for me. I'm just thankful that I have a job (that I actually enjoy!).
How about Christmas parties everyone? do you have those at least? They let me plan them each year so that's always fun...

Last year we all went bowling. Our lovely boss decided not to show up and his 'public image' went down the toilet...

We usually just go to one of the higher-ups house and have dinner. Sorry, no bowling.
