I did last year for the first time. We were all shocked and pleasantly surprised! I work for a church, as a preschool teacher. My director handed us all a check, explaining the bonus, and of course, asked us to open it confidentially (as some received more than others based on seniority/job title). I was floored when I opened it. FLOORED. (I expected $25 or something when I opened it- it was quite a bit more than that!)
My DH does not get a bonus. His company throws a holiday party, but this year and last year, it was over an hour away to get to it, so we skipped it. Previous years, they had a lunch during a work day, but since my DH is on the technical end, he is always out in the field so has never been able to participate in the lunch. Basically, I think his company has these parties for the "front office staff"- you know, the folks who make the big bucks...
