If you do that to instill guilt, I would not do it.
Playing games like that only ends up with two losers. |

I'm no Ms. Manners, but this sounds polite and appropriate to me. I think passive aggressive would be something more like: "Since I think it's so rude for people not to send thank you notes, I wanted to be sure and send you one."

Thanks, I asked on another foum and they said it was incredibly passive aggressive.
I worded it as 'Thank you for my Christmas present, hope you liked yours too and that you had a lovely Christmas. I cant see how this is majorily passive aggressive? |

Had you already written a thank you note for your xmas present?
It would not imo be passive aggressive to say or write: "happy birthday. P.s. Btw, i did not receive a thank you note; did you get your xmas present from me?" |

If you haven't thanked them for their Christmas present then I think it would be appropriate. If you have and they failed to thank you in return and your going back to a past hurt~ I would consider it passive aggressive.

Doesn't sound passive aggressive at all to me.
But if you want to know for sure, then just be honest with yourself when it comes to what your motivation was in asking them. Was it out of hostility or curiosity? Sounds to me like you were simply wondering if they liked their gift. who knows, maybe they were the ones being passive aggressive in not thanking you. |
