Do you use your Christmas bonuses strictly for BF?

We get a small bonus like the week before christmas. Which were thankful for! even if it is small :cheesy: But husband also get paid once a month which means only 2 more checks until christmas. BUT the good news is he is getting a raise this check so were put what he gets for a raise ( $200 I think) and spend that on BF :)

I usually get $100 the last non-pay week before Christmas. So, it's within 2 weeks of Christmas. However, every year we never know if we're getting them because the company isn't doing so hot, but they always seem to come through.

 

Now dh's isn't called a Christmas bonus either. His company has a "longevity bonus". You get "X" amount of dollars for each year you've worked there. It's like $250 for less than 1 yr, $500 for 1-2 yrs, $1000 for 2-3 yrs, then it goes up $1000 each yr until you cap out at $10,000. They release these checks within the first 2 weeks of December. So, I put off as many bills as I can so I have as much money as I can from our regular paychecks for BF.

I usually get $50 in my paycheck right before Christmas and DH gets a bonus check sometime in December and his is a percentage of how much he has grossed in the last year. I will probably use DH's bonus check to pay off the CC from black friday if I need to use it.

No bonus here, either. They do get a safety bonus at the end of the year. However, it goes to the foremen, and then it's up to the foremen if they want to share it with their crew. Most don't.

My Hubby gets quarterly profit sharing bonuses so every 3 months depending on wheter the company does well or not we may get a bonus.. The rumor is that this bonus ( the November one) is going to be bigger then the last one and that was over $1400 take home. Last year the bonus was only $350 in November so I never really counted that money as christmas money..This year I may:)

we got profit sharing last year for the 1st time in about 10 years since i've been with the company (we got new owners) I've been here 12 years.

but we didnt get ours last year till the week of christmas and it was a papercheck and the bank holds them for like 5-7 days. --so to answer your question...No.

Hubby gets one for $250 and they are given out at the annual Christmas party, which has been pretty nice the past couple of years. They've given away nice door prizes and we walked out with $50 extra last year. That doesn't happen until mid-December though, so I am unable to use on BF. I have to depend on Christmas Club for that day!

I get a nice cash bonus at one of the company's five parties- right after eating a filet mignon with a glass of wine too.

 

I work for the best company - even if I do have to go to FIVE Christmas parties for them

My husband's company does Christmas bonuses based on profit as well as reviews. They don't get their Christmas bonuses until early March. The company says it works out better for their taxes or something. I don't know, but we usually use that money to pay for the stuff we have put on credit cards.
