very, very few employers in the States do Christmas gifts of food. Maybe a turkey or a gift card to a grocery store. Usually, if there's any year-end present to employees, it's the form of bonus money

Well, that sucks. Kinda cheap too. End of the year bonus is normal here too, but Christmas hampers are given as well. Not all have just food, though. Some also include gift cards and more and more companies/employers let you pick and choose them yourself, by giving four (or so) options of theme packs or something, and some also choose to have it donated to a charity of their choice.Unmade Plans (WIP: 11/20):
Sam's life takes a turn in an unexpected direction when she's faced with an unplanned pregnancy. The decision to keep the baby and raise it on her own will alter her life forever. Relationships are put to the test, especially the one between her and Jack. She doesn't know what to expect from him and he surprises her at every turn.

My S/J fics can be found on FFnet and AO3. I also tweet and tumble about the ship and my writing/stories.

I'm sure Jack would even be fine with Sam being bald, as long as he gets to have her.Unmade Plans (WIP: 11/20):

Hmm, Sam bald. I mean sure he'd love her anyway, but I think she might buy herself one of those bad wigs first. I think it would mean less teasing from the guys.sigpic

I think it depends on the reason of her baldness because I really don't think the guys would tease her about losing her hair... if they would, they're very immature.Unmade Plans (WIP: 11/20):

Are we talking about Sam losing her hair or shaving her head?

Or a gift bag. Or gift box. We're a very straightforward bunch. Like do they have several things in them?

And you know guys can be pretty immature, especially Jack. I think we may need a Sam is bald fic. Anyone. Anyone.sigpic
