Christmas Eve is a day when the spirit of generosity pervades many organizations, leading bosses to give gifts, food and/or bonuses to their staff. Everyone loves to receive gifts and be on the receiving end of generosity, but sometimes it leaves confusion and unrealistic expectations in its wake.
Christmas is so close to year end that sometimes employees view any monetary Christmas gift as a performance bonus, while the employer may view the gift as a Christmas present. This can cause problems later.
Even Jesus had to clarify His intent at times for His disciples. In John 16:29 we read, “Then Jesus’ disciples said, ‘Now you are speaking clearly and without figures of speech.’”
If you’re planning to be generous to staff at Christmas, communicate clearly the intent of your gifts.
