I would recommend doing separate notes.
Did you ever know someone who had a birthday on Christmas? Think about how they felt about combined gifts, or how you would feel with only getting one day of gifts a year. Even when it's someone who would only give a Christmas gift, the addition of "and birthday" kind of stings.
It's very practical and if you're on a tight budget I can understand wanting to save on postage and effort, but I think that combining them has the potential to unintentionally insult people. If you are not absolutely sure that your entire guestlist would be perfectly okay with a combination, you should probably be safe and separate the two.
I would do a thank you note with at the end say "We hope you and your family have a very lovely Christmas and New year"
2 cards 1 envelope sounds fine to me. I would find 1 card for both odd though.
Do you usually send Christmas cards separately or would this be your first year? FI and I aren't going to do Christmas cards for a few years because we can't afford it, so if it's a cost issue then you could just skip Christmas cards in the mail completely, at least for now. If it's not a money issue then I'd say send them separately.
@dec-bride: I personally would find two cards in one envelope much stranger than one combined Christmas and thank you card, I'd wonder if there'd been a mailing mistake, lol.
It seems to me that thank you cards should be dedicated to that purpose only.

I'm just now getting to thank you cards. I'm shooting to finish and mail these out in a week. But, then Christmas is coming up, and I would be sending Christmas cards to these same family and friends around the same time. Does it make sense to do a combined wedding thank you/christmas card or send two mailings to the same people? Anybody in the same boat? What would you recommend?
