Sandra,

My advice to you would be to think up something to say that does not continue an argument.

You can choose to win someone over to your point of view, or you can choose to merely keep whatever tension that exists going.

Besides that, you can make a bigger statement, one that reflects love and understanding, which can indeed break down old arguments and old barriers.

Especially when it is supposed to be a gift.

Please think about that,
