MT, even considering the only time that you get a kiss, I can tell you that you're getting more kisses than me!
I think that it's pretty important that your H is still maintaining physical contact with you. Touch in all of it's forms is such an important part of a R. Besides the kissing, have you noticed that your H is making steps in touching or being touched by you? The "nuzzling" and leaning into you sounds like a good thing. He did not jerk away or avoid you.
I know that the Holdiays are apt to be hard for H this year. The good thing is that he still wants to be around my family and our sons.
Most of us are about as happy as we make up our minds to be.
