I think All Done's suggestion was great.
I have never been polite enough to give my therapist a card, or write a note of thanks. But the note of thanks would definitely end up in my file. I'm not sure a generic Christmas card would, but if it didn't it would end up in the circular file after Christmas I'm sure. Come to think of it, I've never seen any cards in his office, and he wouldn't bring them home, so they're probably in the client files.
I wouldn't fault him for not mentioning the card, but not mentioning the letter seems rather rude. Especially as he can't have forgotten it as it's in your file. I'd do as All Done suggests. Of course, it's one of my basic philosophies in all my relationships not to sit on things and let them fester, but to tell people what is bothering me. He'll never know he hurt you otherwise, and neither of you will learn from the situation.
