Maybe not too complicated to understand

Began posting last night but my W spilled her wine all over my laptop (complete accident).

Christmas Eve was really nice until I opened my yap and made a snide remark to my W. Got her and MIL both pissed at me. I deserved it if for no other reason than we were surrounded by family at the time. Took a little time to cool down and made my apologies. By the end of the night we were all on good term again. I can be my own worst enemy.

Christmas was very nice. It was just the five of us and my W made the customary Christmas dinner. She really liked the gifts I had gotten for her so I felt great about my selections - nothing from a list mind you...

She went to MIL's in the middle of the day to help clean up from the night before. When she got back she made a comment about getting back into her pajamas and grabbing some wine. I gave her a high-five (such a romantic) and said Merry Christmas in a goofy sort of way. Immediately following that I gave her a hug and she hugged back, unexpectedly strong and close and long. It was nice. I said Merry Christmas again and so did she. It was actually beautiful. I gave her a kiss on the side of her head (felt it was safest) and let her go.

I don't read ANYthing into it. It was definitely a loving hug but loving that you would show your best friend of 20 years, nothing more.

Hope everyone is doing well.
