What tastes better than turkey? Free turkey!

The company I work for continues a tradition that most would have thought went the way of the dinosaur - they give all of the employees a turkey for Christmas. Seriously. Isn't that grand? My apologies to those who spare the beasts from their menus... If you don't want the turkey, you can choose to give it to charity.

I pose this question to my readers: What does your employer do at Christmas that you appreciate?

This year we all received large logo embossed umbrella's. It does rain here y'know.

For Thanksgiving we were given certificates for free turkeys at one of the local markets. Cooked up just fine.

We have what feels like a week long pot luck around Christmas week, bad time of year to start a diet.
Retro.

I don't think any workplace is immune from the potluck phenomenon. It's hard to stay disciplined.

I almost hesitate to mention that I got a really big raise for 09...and a bonus. I work for a great company.

Raises are good. As are bonuses. Tis not the season for those at my work just yet. Soon.
