In Britain we get as public holidays Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day the other time in between we have to take off our annual holiday allowance.
The company pay for us to attend a Christmas Party (dinner/dance) at a local hotel, also if you have been at the company 10 or more years you get 3 days pay as a Christmas Bonus. They also lay on drinks and nibbles on the last day.
Following are a few photos of this year's drinks and nibbles

Donna our Receptionis got permission to bring her young son in on the last day - he is such a sweetie I think most of us look forward to this
