Rather snarky little piece, Zeon. Those Christmas puddings are a fairly long standing tradition. They are also paid for out of the Queen's personal account. The staff are also given a gift voucher, the value of which increases with length of service. And. These "cheapo" gifts are also handed out to the recipients by the Queen herself.
By the way, when you consider the price of the puddings alone, when was the last time your employer spent almost $10,000 dollars out of pocket for you and your co-workers. If he/she spent anything, it was probably out of the company expense account.
