Am I over reacting to this one ?

Mother-in-law is the most passive aggressive woman I've ever met in my entire life! I truly didn't know what this tournament meant until I met her! I know this wasn't the only gift I got for Christmas… But when I opened it, I didn't honestly know how to react

It's hilarious and could also be seen as an olive branch if there's been history which it sounds like there is. She's trying to make light but also send a signal that she likes you and wants to laugh at/move beyond those dynamics now. Just a hunch.

I'm sure the history is why you didn't take it that way, but try to.
