Been doing my own hustle for years now but can't remember ever getting a (sizeable) Christmas bonus, and I worked for some pretty large companies in the past. I can actually only remember one Christmas party being fun too and that was a small town tire shop I worked for in my early 20's. They rented a hall and basically everyone ate and drank their faces off and they had games for us to play, then they had a hired guy to drive all of us home.
