The Watchtower 1st Nov 1979 comments with regard to this issue:

''That depends on what the bonus actually signifies and how accepting it would be viewed.

Would accepting a "Christmas bonus" mean that one is sharing in that holiday? Perhaps not. It may be that the bonus is not at all understood as meaning that each recipient is celebrating Christmas. The employer may simply choose to give all his workers a share of the company's profits at the year's end and when many of them would especially appreciate a lump sum to use as they desire. The bonus may be an evidence of gratitude for services rendered all year long, as well as a stimulus to continued good work and smooth employer-employee relations. The employer may give it to all employees, regardless of whether some, such as Jews, Moslems or others, do not believe in Christmas. So the mere timing of the gift or the name that has come to be used for it does not necessarily rule out its acceptance by one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

If the Christian's conscience would be at rest in accepting the gift, he might choose to take it and express thanks without any reference to the holiday.

But if a gift is given with the clear intent of showing that the Christian is not firm in his beliefs or will compromise for gain, then definitely it is best to decline.''
