The reason I ask is that, on every line item, the Estimate is lower than what it actually transpired to be because of this Christmas bonus payment. That is perfectly fine and I am very glad the Christmas bonus is being paid, but from a perspective of financial planning, it seems like something that could be planned for on a year-to-year basis like every other budget item.
