I'm sorry she didn't respond to that last message. That's hurtful. But she won't see your changes if there's absolutely NC. I think it's good to do something a little different, it can't hurt if it's a small thing. I've been trying to use the give and you shall receive idea, because I have the same issue with wondering who should break silences, etc. I guess maybe you could be the first to break silence and see how it goes. I don't think the idea is no contact, it's just brief, happy, light and undemanding contact. Keep the subject neutral. I'm sure you know all this. What I'm trying to say is it seems like a good time to do it, a holiday is a good excuse.
Personally I think either email or phone, but that's just me.
I wish you good luck.
