Got a surprise "Holiday Bonus" of $500
Spent it on my wifes present and a couple of tickets to a Yankee game in August. I tried to get Bosox tickets, but I only got in 10 seconds after the tickets went on sale and they were sold out already.

My bonus is extra hugs  and kisses  from my daughters April and Beth thats the best Christmas bonus.............
disabilty this year so no $$ bonus.But 8 years ago Billy had gotten a temperary job while he was laid off I worked at a mom and pop store they owned 3 local convenient marts .I was pregnant with Beth and it was Aprils first x-mas so money was tight.The owners took us to old country buffet.They handed us each a envelope with a crisp $10. bill they then told us our bonus was each $9.25 .We each had to give them back 75cents !!!
oh well it's the thought that counts.To explain how they came up with that at the end of the change any money left in the take a penny /leave a penny jar next to the register went into a jar all year and the amount was split between all the stores. So the bonus really came from the customers and they wouldn't pay the extra 75 cents each.Then again she would look over your shoulder and yell at you if you put too much meat or mayo on a sub you had to explain they ordered extra mayo.the pizza we sold in slices had to have just the right amount of pepperoni or you were in deep doo doo.Oh well they sold the store and the new owner seems better.I got fired by them because I left early a couple days when April had chicken pox.One and only time i've ever been fired but I cried and cried.oh well I'm done complaining may your bonuses be painfree life.

I work for myself, so any bonus that I would give to myself would be taxed at a rate of somewhere near 50%!
I didn't know Uncle Sam was on my payroll. I do all the work and he gets half! Whats wrong with this picture?

Yeps. I get a corporate bonus (although they call it a "gift" not a bonus) and the NM office also gives a Christmas bonus. And the raises tend to be a little more generous this time of the year.

I'm with jimmers up there. hell I never even get a paycheck.
but I do, being unincorporated get all my expenses covered and I do control the money and might take a bonus to start christmas shopping on friday. I just have to decide if I'm worth it or not.
I quess if employees got one I should too. I will determine my bonus based on what I spend.

Since you have to spend it, last year I bought a magazine and used the rest for gas money. So I end up 'paying' tax to buy a certificate I never wanted anyway. After you subtract the cost of fuel, I wonder if I didn't end up losing money in the deal, LOL.
What's a performance bonus? LOL.

If you don't want the $15, I'll take it. That would buy a bottle of wine, crackers and cheese for me, da spousal unit, and the cat.
Yeah, I get a bonus and I'm thankful for every penny of it. It's FREE money and you get it b/c the company did well and you exist on the payroll at the time they decided to share some of the money. The same is true about Christmas parties...you're on the payroll so you get to go for FREE!
If ya really want to know about my *BIG* Christmas bonus this year, e-mail me and I'll tell you about my step mother and the $6 million law suit she filed against me and my two sisters over my father's estate.
I'm off the soap box...

Me?
Every year I put into payroll an extra 80 hours as a bonus and its taxed.
But this year I got to thinking...."I havent gave myself a damn raise in eight years"....so I took it to the extreme this year....LMMFAO 
A 52" high definition TV and a $5000 dollar check sounded about right to me.....LMAO!!!!!
.........Higher tax bracket jonny

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Good job, jonny. Every man or woman [ but not kids  ] deserve a High Def TV. Hope you went Plasma or DLP.

My husband owns his own business so ...no not really.
He'll consider it a bonus if this baby is born before Jan 1 ......if even one minute before =tax deduction!
