Sadly my package that I mailed on Dec 7th still has not made it to Califonia. I tracked it and it the last scan was leaving SH to the sorting faciility where it seems to have dissapeared. The Postal clerk told me to give it 2 more days on Tuesday the 18th. I'll check with my daughter-in-law again today if it is not there then I have to assume is in the P.O. Abyss never to be heard from again....
