If you marked the box correctly on the DS-260, it will be mailed to you automatically within a few weeks of entry into the US.  If you didn't mark the box, you will have to go to a local SS office.

 

You entered mid December 2018?  I would give it a few more weeks.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..
