You haven't been around much - I hope everything is ok with you. Your package has been consigned to the tender mercies of the post, and I have great hopes that you will see it sometime before the heat death of the universe. In the event that it arrives in the next 10 days, as "promised", you may certainly use your own judgment as to waiting until Christmas or not. One caution - you may wish to open the box in an enclosed space...the packing material may attempt to escape.
