Thank you note for boss after you're let go

Well this sure is complicated! I need some advice. I'll try to keep it short and sweet. We got married in Nov, one of our guests was DH's boss who gave us a very generous gift. One month later, he let DH go from his company. He was the company owner, and DH reported directly to him and worked there...

Well this sure is complicated! I need some advice. I'll try to keep it short and sweet.

We got married in Nov, one of our guests was DH's boss who gave us a very generous gift.

One month later, he let DH go from his company.

He was the company owner, and DH reported directly to him and worked there for almost 5 years. This was not a case of DH breaking any rules or anything like that, he just decided he wanted to go a different direction and hire someone else.

It was completely unexpected, and DH feels hurt/heartbroken/betrayed/confused. It was also the week before christmas when he told him.

I'm writing my thank you notes for our wedding gifts, and I have no idea what to write in the thank you to him. DH doesn't want me to write one at all. I feel like anything I write will be superficial, as obviously we are grateful for the gift he gave us but I can't very well say "so glad you were there and can't wait to see you again!" I also don't want to send a note that just says "thanks for the gift" because I feel that is almost more rude than not sending one.. Or is it?


Help.

    I would thank him for your FH's sake, even though I totally get why you wouldn't want to. People can be petty and you want to make sure FH can feel comfortable still using him as a reference when he starts applying for new jobs. That really, really stinks that he did this one week before Christmas, that's just wrong.
