I would wonder why. I would probably SAY, "Why???!!!???"

To me, it would make it seem like I have to treat them differently. Like subconsciously I'd be like "oh, they're the ones who give me tons of cash as a bonus, so I better be good to them."

I don't know.... way too awkward. Like it's brown-nosing or expecting things from you because of it. As I mentioned above, I'd have an overwhelming feeling of indebtedness to them. I wouldn't know how to handle it. If it was their last day, sure. To show me appreciation for the years of great care for their kid, and they gave me a big amount of money, that would be fine. But not for Christmas while they're still a client. It's just too awkward.

I really do need therapy.
