    My husband is on IB and he got his in December I think.

    Whilst very grateful, I personally don't see any need for a Christmas Bonus at all.
    Why not donate it to a charity of your choice?

    We did actually give more than the £10 bonus to charity at Christmas.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    I appreciate that, but still don't understand why it is done at all. I suppose it was a vote-catcher when it was first introduced.
