I have all her presents as well.
I sent sister a text yesterday before she came over setting a boundary and in essence saying don’t poke the bear and that I didn’t want conflict before Christmas. It worked! She was quiet and subdued. I spoke up for myself diplomatically and I took back my power. Yay!
I hope everyone has a peaceful day.
