Hug Me T Shirt




A hug is basically a reflection of friendship or love. However, different hugs carry different meanings, for instance a one shoulder hug is often a sign of friendship while a hug where one puts the hands on the lower back shows that the person may be in love or wants more from the relationship.
hug is a near universal form of physical intimacy wherein two people put their arms around the neck, back, or waist of one another and closely hold each other. A hug with more than two people is informally called a group hug. read More below

The common custom of placing Xs on envelopes, notes and at the bottom of letters to mean kisses dates back to the Middle Ages, when a Christian cross was drawn on documents or letters to mean sincerity, faith, and honesty. A kiss was then placed upon the cross, by the signer as a display of their sworn oath. It was also used in early Christian history as much of a display of the same. Since most of the common people could not read or write, the 'X' was placed on documents, and a kiss placed upon it as a show of their sincerity.The Chi Rho, often represented with the letter, was also used as a holy symbol throughout Christian history as it represented the Greek word for Christ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ; this gave rise to the practice of using the letter 'X', which was then kissed in this tradition of displaying a sacred oath.

The 'O' is of North American descent; when arriving to the United States, Jewish immigrants, most of whose first language was Yiddish, would use an 'O' to sign documents, thus not using the sign of the cross, and shop keepers would often use an 'O' when signing documents, in place of an 'X.
'Hugs and kisses as used at the end of a written letter, email or in a SMS text message. Most commonly the X is considered to stand for "Kisses" and the O for Hugs.
