there are a few things i miss about having a job in the corporate world especially during Christmas season. one is having the christmas bonuses. yup, bonusES! :) i used to work in a very generous telecomms company that gives up to 21 months bonus! though our salary is low and that its taxable, still, i have been blessed for 7 years to have received it. aside from that, we also get to received a christmas package consisting of chocolates, cookies, chips, coffee, and food for noche buena such as spaghetti sauce, noodles, Nestle all purpose cream, fruit cocktail, condensed mil etc. on top of it all, we get to receive 4 pieces of 1kg ham!
i also miss the parties. funny, i used to not like attending the company's christmas parties. well, perhaps i just like the idea of having to have a christmas party to attend to. hehe.
i miss giving gifts. my gosh, with all those christmas bonuses, i could afford to give gifts! haha. well at least now, i get to choose who i want to give and the gift is really well thought of.
i also miss receiving gifts of course from colleagues.
it's different now. i miss those things but i surely don't regret this new world where i am now. it's a time well spent with my family (especially that i dont have to work on Christmas day and even the new year), close friends (which is much better than with colleagues that you are "forced" to be with, and with loved ones. the gift of time and relationships are the best things that i could ever have and definitely i cant live without.
