Cheap hat, scarf and gloves, and a Christmas ornament. I'd rather have the $7.50.

We used to give our employees the choice of a ham or a fifth of bourbon. Too many people were opening the bourbon at the Christmas party and getting hammered. Now we just give a cash equivalent.

They made a donation in my name to The Human Fund.

Last year it was the Jelly of the Month Club. That was the gift that kept on giving.

One of my coworkers gave me a $50 Amazon gift card.

Another one is a good friend with Joel Justus (UK basketball assistant) and said on Tuesday he was going to get Joel Justus to hook me up with some gear.

I gave all my employees $100 Walmart gift cards and pies from Homemade Pie Kitch (which are as good as hard currency in my book).

gift card for a free pie. multi billion dollar company and i got a pie.

of course last year they tried a 12 days of christmas drawing thing. broke down the employees proportionally, each day was a better gift until you got to day 1, where like 5 people got the best gift. all random drawing. and.. employees complained because people got better gifts than they did. so this year they just got everyone the same thing.

My boss is a big home brew guy and he gave our team four bottles of different varieties and a pint glass with a logo of a big project we recently completed.

It's not officially a "Christmas Bonus," but we also get $500 a year for "self improvement challenge" at the end of the year. You can use it towards anything you want as long as it isn't related to your job: golf lessons, etc.

Nothing this year due to being off all year for multiple back surgeries. I normally get a profit sharing check twice a year. The last Christmas one after taxes was like $900. I miss getting that. The wife got $500+ after taxes this year.
