A mandatory trip to New York for the Christmas party.

My employer at a small upstart company decided to frick with me and gave me a 20 pound bag of shelled pecans as my Christmas bonus. I was pissed given the astronomical growth we'd experienced since I came on, but I was raised right so I took them and went back to my office.
Later that day the secretary called me down and gave me my bonus check.

We had a gift exchange for work. At bosses house. Person who had my name shows up at door with a plant which was my gift. Boss thought it was a house warming present and took it for herself. Later on in the evening she realized I didn't have a gift and went upstairs and wrapped a used body pillow and gave it to me
I laughed way too hard at this.

i just this second received a $3,300 Christmas bonus from my job. I have been here 25 years and never got anything more than a ham or 100.00 gift card.
Now, how to hide from the wife!!?

Jealous, I've never had an employer gift me guns and ammo as a Xmas bonus!
This is a very odd mistake of a post.

No big bonus this year but other sites are laying people off so I’ll take my co tinted employment as a gift.

Best was the year they gave Burberry Bags and a Kindle.
Worst is either the company engraved set of steak knives or the selfie stick.
Talk about worlds apart.
ETA: they threw epic holiday parties. One year they had a carnival with food trucks, a candy store and open bars. They shut everything down at 3:00 and the party started. If you got drunk, they paid for the taxi home.
That was in addition to the department parties.

I give myself nothing every year.

I got the best gift ever. My principal on medical leave for the entire month. I've actually been able to get work done.

My current company gives Visa Gift Cards.
But I never minded company branded polos, ice chest, etc. either.

I would say my company gifts a moderately decent gift each Christmas.
I am always surprised of stories/gifts I hear that legitimately shock me from terrible to amazing. What are you guys getting as a Christmas gift from your employer?
I worked for one of the best bosses I ever had about 10 years ago and she bought everyone gift cards on her own dime, $50 each....and from stores where she knew everyone was liable to shop....for examply mine was a harbor freight gift card because she knew I was a tool junkie. It wasn't the money nor the gift itself it was the personal touch of connecting with her direct report interests outside of work. She also held a staff meeting once a month at a local baker, again on her own dime. There were only about 10 of us so it wasn't a huge amount of money but she put more thought into it than most people would.
Worst gift has been multiple layoffs on or about Christmas eve when working plant shutdowns.....
