Last season the news was all over AIG after they threw a massive christmas party weeks after receiving stimulus money. It didn't end there, though. Nothing has been more transparent to show that corporate social responsibility has gone out the door in the big-time multi-million and even billion dollar companies than around last Christmas time. Bankrupt companies still spent millions of dollars on christmas parties last year and cut checks for millions in bonuses after massive layouts following the worst recession in years. What is going to happen this Christmas?
We can only hope that this will be the season for a little more giving back and a little more recognition for corporate social responsibility. I think that big companies should have a protocol for giving back. Community service and giving back to your neighborhood and world is essential for big companies to remember when they are getting caught up in multi-million dollar transactions every day. Perhaps buyers and consumers should pay attention to which companies make an effort to give back and this christmas season, even try to purchase their gifts and essential items from companies with a conscience.
Well, what will go on this season is yet to tell, but we are hoping this will be the season for giving back!

Your right Nicole, companies such as AIG have no buisness having an over the top christmas party when they just went to the government asking for bailout money. Your also right that people should take into concideration how much companies give back when they look to buy christmas gifts this season
