It is appropriate to email the professor, at any time of the year (especially since you have a personal relationship to him, but more generally since his email is publicly listed on his department’s website). It is also appropriate for him to ignore your email if he is on vacation or reply to say he is unable to help. | |

Messages they consider a waste of time (due to the contend, sender, or other circumstances) or are currently not of sufficient priority (due to other commitments or indeed holidays) are typically simply ignored. I don't think the time of the year should be a major concern, but you could address that in the email. | |
