I'm glad you had a nice holiday. It sounds bittersweet, but it must have been very nice being surrounded by your family. I LIKED the part about having the smell cookies baking in the air. Smell is such a primitive sense. It can really transport people to another time and place..........and in your case, it probably reminded H of past Christmases.
It sounds like you made an impression on two counts: you took the high road and gave H a Christmas present AND you initiated giving H a kiss. Well done!
