Is it considered discrimination if you don't recieve a Christmas bonus while other employees did?

Hello..my apologies if I'm posting in the wrong sub but I'd really like some advice on this.

My husband works for a small company of about 20+ people. Upon the first check of this year, his employer also gave the employees their W-2s along with goodies like company logo booklets and pens. One employee blurted out "well thanks for these goodies but wouldn't it have been better to give us more on the Christmas bonuses?". My husband states that his employer then refused to look at him at that point. He then inquired with his coworkers and found out they all received a $500 Christmas bonus except him - they didn't mention it because they assumed he received it as well. So a few minutes later...his employer comes to him with his check and tells him that he and his wife (also in HR for this company) thought my husband didn't need a Christmas bonus because we were doing well enough to take a Christmas vacation. Does that make sense at all?

First of all, his company doesn't always work weekends (if they do it's only on Saturday). Christmas fell on a Tuesday this year and we were only out from Saturday through Wednesday the 26th. Secondly, he told his employer well over a month in advance of our plans. Third, none of the other employees worked Christmas Eve or Christmas either!

He called off an extra day afterwards as I fell sick with the flu....but how does this warrant an assumption that we are "well off"? Even if they did work the Saturday before Christmas, I feel like my husband properly requested the time off.

His boss told him he will "check with his wife" now to see if they have enough money to give him a bonus. I'm at a loss on what to say because this all seems so shady and unfair. What should he tell his boss?

Edit: Thank you guys for the advice! He was approached by his employer today and given a bonus (yay!) along with some excuse on why it didn't come the past 2 checks. I still think he might not have gotten it if he hadn't known. I'm sure my husband will be able to change jobs soon, he's just going about it cautiously as we have other personal plans in the upcoming month that would make it poor timing to rage quit.
