My husband and I just bought our son a new Nissan Sentra as his birthday/Christmas gift.  He has no idea and will be arriving home tonight!  I have a big red bow on it and we have had it in our garage for the past month.  I can't wait to see the expression on our son's face. 

 


@Maine Rose That is absolutely wonderful. Imagne the joy. Please come back and tell us how the presentation unfolds. That ought to be one really happy boy!

Re: Anyone ever get a new car for Christmas as a gift?

I never did for Christmas but on our 50th Anniversary two years ago (October 2015) my husband bought me a new Mitsubishi Outlander Sport SUV in Octane Blue. He had retired a few years before me so he used some of his retirement money so we had no payments. We never had a honeymoon and we don't travel so this was a special gift. I think he wanted this too.

I will always keep this SUV and it only has 1,800 miles on it as right after he bought it I became sick with my pancreas. I am blessed as I am doing great now and making a special Christmas for my husband, kids, and Grandchildren.

It sure is true to count your blessings. I do every day and "all of you" are included. That is my biggest gift.

My sisters husband got her a new car on her birthday years ago. It was a Dodge sports car in white and he put a huge red bow on it and hid in their garage. She has since traded it in but will never forget that moment.

I never owned a new car....they all have been used. The one I drive now is a 1989 white Pontiac Firebird I bought 1 yr old in 1990 for $7,999  Smiley Very Happy

Hi, all,  I've only ever bought two new cars, and neither was a Christmas present!

I haven't, but I never really thought about it.  I like to choose my own stuff, especially with something big like a new car.   'Course, then I have to pay for it.   ha!   Smiley Surprised

I have never received a new car for Christmas but I can think of at least two occasions my father bought a new car for my mother (both convertibles) - big red bow included.

Re: Anyone ever get a new car for Christmas as a gift?

I did last year, sort of!  I took delivery of a 2017 Subaru Forester 2.5i Touring in Sepia Bronze Metallic w/saddle brown leather interior on 12/19/16.....BUT, I had special ordered it back in late Sept. & the original delivery date was in  mid January of this year & it came in early & it was a From Me-To Me gift, so I paid for it myself (but I did pay cash, no car payment)  The only person who's ever bought me a new car is  ME !   lol
