Quite honestly, I would speak to your postmaster. If a package is too large for the mailbox, technically they should either leave a notice to pick up at the post office or knock on the door. It was irresponsible to just leave it sitting there, especially if you're in an area with critters.

She's homesick and upset and I know you take the fact that she wants to talk to her first host mother as an insult but she's away from home and among strangers. That's hard and to have your Christmas gifts, your little touch of home, torn up and strewn around is going to make it that much harder.

Anyway, I would complain to the P.O. which might make her realize that you're taking her pain seriously. Because I really think they acted carelessly here (I would be upset at such a thing and I'm 43 years old).
