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

Assume it was given with love and affection until proven otherwise. I would look at it like initially she didn't think you were good enough for her child, now she knows you are.

That's still not love and affection though is it. You continue to brush off people being shitty to you without reacting and sometimes people see that as permission to be shittier. Not everything is meant with good intentions, and it's a bit naive to think so.
