    I've just had my christmas bonus from the goverment (UK) £10 pounds.

    Do jw's send theirs back because of their beliefs about christmas.

    When i questioned my dad (elder) about this - a long time ago - he told me that JW's can accept their bonus because it was gratitude for the work that had been done for the entire year. That is was not really a "Christmas present", but it just happen to be given around Christmas because Christmas is at the end of the year.

    This bonus is only for old age pensioners, who have in many cases not done any work as such during the year. Could you source your contact and find out if I can keep the £10 ------------
