Go back in time to the Christmas mornings when you were young. You wake up and fly down the stairs to see what Santa has brought you. Imagine instead of the toy you so desperately wanted, you received an apology letter from Santa. For some children who wanted a Hatchimal for Christmas, this is exactly the bad news they're going to get on what should be the jolliest day of the year.

I'd break it to him gently and early and give him a chance to substitute another toy for that item on his wish list.
