DS has put something on his Christmas list that we haven’t got for him

[Gingerbreadcottage]

My DS is 6 years old and is wanting an X Box for Christmas. He said he’ll definitely be getting one because he’s told Father Christmas he wants it.

We have bought him a new Amazon fire tablet to replace his old one that’s broken - it’s a bigger screen and suitable for an older child. Now I feel sad that he may be disappointed on Christmas morning.
We’ve got him plenty of other things he’s asked for and a few surprises too.

We don’t feel that he’s old enough for an X Box and would rather wait until he’s maybe 7 or 8 at least.
A few of his friends have one, some have older siblings though.

What can I do?!

I wanted Operation as a kid, for years mum told me that Santa had run out :-) I'm sure it can wait til next year. Bit different with my autistic DS, he asks for a couple of specific things and that's all he wants, and deviation means he doesn't know how to react, but he never asks for much so I get him just those specific things

Preparation for santa is key.
Santa will do his best.
There are millions of children and he may only bring some things that you ask for.
Managing expectations is key.
X boxes are for older children, 6 is very young IMO.
