Networking help with an MD

Hi all,

I've been networking with an MD in London for a couple months now. I sent him an update about a month and a half ago and this was the last time we had contact. Before that he told me to grab a coffee if I come to London (I'm in mainland Europe).

My question is, considering the holidays season, should I send him a short merry christmas email? Or is that too personal or needy considering this is the time he probably wants to focus on his family and not hungry kids looking for a job. I am planning to schedule a trip in February to go meet him (we only networked over the phone up until this point) and I will have to send him an update about my progress / coffee chat request some time in January to do so.

What are your thoughts?
