W still angry with me, but the intensity lessens

[Lanzo]

Dear all,

I thought xmas was going to get off to a shaky start, W, D6 and I were exchanging presents, my present to W from D6 was a simple box of chocolates, W just looked at me and said in a sarcastic tone, "That took a lot of imagination." Ouch!! But I didn't let it get to me. Anyway she was moved when she saw the xmas card I brought her, a very neutral card but one classy enough to show I did make an effort. Her response was to give me a kiss full on the lips and a big hug. Wow!!. Just staying on this point WAW's also have trouble in deciding what type of card to give to LBS, in my case WAW didn't send a card, but she did buy me two nice presents one from her specially wrapped in gold wrapping paper and one from D6.

For xmas I put on my full xmas show 80% genuine maybe 20% fake, keep everyone happy and entertained. I tried to sneak an end of xmas day hug with W but she wasn't responsive But overall everyone (W, D6, MIL, FIL, my Mom) enjoyed the day.
