reportermomof3 Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 I get a week's salary (minus taxes) as a Christmas bonus. It gets automatically deposited the day before Thanksgiving, so it's available for me to use BF. By the end of the day, it's gone!
Lvnlakers78 Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 My husband doesn't get a bonus but he does get a nice check from all his holiday pay combined which I use every year for BF!!!
bugsette Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 what's a christmas bonus... I would even be happy with 25.00- 50.00
jasonaltima Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 My company gives us what they call wellness pay.Its a little more than my regular paycheck
elena_398 Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 My husband does get a good christmas bonus, but oddly enough he doesn't get it till after the first of the year. God only knows why they call it that. A lot of it will pay my medical bills this year. But the rest will pay off my credit card as I will charge most of the BF purchased this year
Aaron Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 I got one and I use some of it to buy gifts for Christmas.
starshine Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Christmas Bounus LOL!!!!! Have to have a Christmas club here.
conj Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Christmas bonus? Hah! I don't get one. DH got 3 rolls of wrapping paper last year... granted it was heavy, pretty wrapping paper... :)
Marcster Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Last year, my wife got one equal to a week's salary. This year, at a new job, we don't know what it will be, we are hoping for the same. Of course, being self-employed, I get nothing. Back when I sold cars, all the salesmen got $100 bill and a free turkey.
abentley Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 My dh doesn't get his bonus until the 15th of December...if he gets one. I say that because we look at it as a "bonus", and I never want to jinx it.
StephanieD Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 My husband and I get gainsharing at our jobs. The amount we get could be a lot or nothing at all if the company does badly. Either way, we don't get it until after Black Friday. We get a large percentage of it in December and the rest in January. Since I don't do credit cards, I'll be spending money that I've saved for Black Friday.
Melissa Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Dh is self-employed -- so no bonuses for us.
blakes_mommy Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Christmas bonus LOL!!!! Yeah right, try a christmas club!! Don't I wish!!
ccarson1972 Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 No Christmas bonus. It would help so much if I could get one.
brynnfromtheblock Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 No christmas bonus here.. I get my annual bonus in March though
tokanm Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 my boss is very generous and we get a nice christmas bonus $$ however we usually get it the last day we work before christmas so it does no good for Christmas shopping:worried: My friends husband works for a prestigious law firm in Boston and their end of the year bonus is based on how well the firm did during the past year. Last year he got over $90,000!! Wow did she marry well or what, I am jealous. Thats a few years salary for me. And the bonus is in one lump sum and on top of his regular salary, how depressing for us poor folks:juggle:
Grants Dad Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Christmas Bonus.... hmm.... I've heard rumors of this phenomenon.... course I've also heard of sasquatch and UFO's.... but never seen those either
ryejay98 Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Heh, my first Xmas bonus at my prior company was $25. And they took taxes out of it. I was pissed at the time - looking back tho, it was hilarious. I think I walked out with $12.

mrn8 Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 I used to get a good chunk at the end of every year. I got a Christmas bonus, year-end bonus, and refund for not using the company's health insurance plan. All told, it usually ended up being around $3000. Now I work for a non-profit, so my Christmas bonus is enough to take my wife out for a nice dinner. I'm making more, though, so the lack of bonus money isn't a problem at all. We used to use the bonus money to take a chunk out of my school loans and then buy ourselves something nice.
christmasangel Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 HA!!! I'm at a new company and I can pretty much guarntee there are no christmas bonuses here!

Of course, being self-employed, I get nothing. Back when I sold cars, all the salesmen got $100 bill and a free turkey.I've gotten both a weeks pay or $100 bill - weeks pay is a much better deal
JazzMama Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Unfortunately, we don't get our Christmas bonus until the middle of December. However, I'm planning on using a 0% int credit card for BF purchases and then pay it off with the bonus, so I guess
bugsette Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 oh my 90,000 that would be so nice... I could pay off some medical bills
HBKitmitto Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 My husband gets a turkey. He works for UPS so his paychecks do go drastically up around the holidays but he also works a ton more. Sometimes he doesn't get home til after midnight. Poor guy.
momof2many Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 I dont know if hubby gets a bonus... they get sporadic bonuses around the year.
Snoodles Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Hubby self employed, no bonus. Myself, work for the school district as a classified employee so we are paid the 15th of each month so my check in November (from the hours in October) do go straight to BF!! That's our 'bonus', my paycheck! LOL
