My Xmas bonus this year will be missing out on a massive lovely Xmas lunch, missing boxing day and missing out on going to London with friends for New Year's. The bonus part? I get to deal with drunks and domestics instead.
Cashback.
Do you get an Xmas bonus?

No because I am on a warning. Oops.
Not really. My team saved up our bonus incentive until now in order to get something extra before Christmas. My tax rebate is due too.
Manager is taking us out but limiting how much of his money we spend.
Never had a bonus before so not bothered by it (would be nice though)

Likewise. And over the New Year too this time around. Not complaining though, new year doesn't bother me although it is slightly annoying not being there on Xmas day with our 3 year old lad. Time and a half O/T helps numb the pain I guess.

I'm off new years day.. although working until 9pm new years eve.
Xmas and new year is basically spent threatening people via facebook not to text me at 1am.

Nope - don't think I've had one in the last 15 years. Won't be getting one this year either as I've just been laid off.
No Christmas bonus as my company complete performance reviews at the end of the financial year.
We do get a big company Christmas party though. Plus a decent contribution towards our team night out and team lunch. Plus my boss takes all of her management team out. Which is nice and fattening soooo fattening.

Yes. Depends how much by how we've done throughout the year though.
I don't get an 'Xmas bonus' as such but we do get a lot of good free gifts throughout November and December. I'm just grateful to have a decent job given the high rate of unemployment these days, although thankfully it's coming down
