Is my expression ok？
Dear all,
I have been looking for a research position in a university .
Several days ago, I heard from the professor whom I had never known before I sent my first email to him to show my interest in his research and he said he would interview me online after the 27th December. I responded that I would remind him of this interview after 27th for his convenience.
So, in my next email, I plan to write like below,
dear prof. Xxxx
How was your Christmas going? I wish you have had a great holiday.
In addition, could you please arrange an interview recently for me? By the way, may I ask what are topics of our discussion?
I am looking forward to hearing from you and thanks for your consideration.
Best regards,
Yours sincerely,
XXXX
This is my expression and now I wanna know whether my expression is suitable for this specific situation?
Merry Christmas and happy new year!
Thanks.

Mister Micawber,Thanks for your timely reply.Your expression is great. Maybe I failed to describe my question clearly. I plan to send this email in the morning of the 28th December when the public holiday would have been already over. So I think the first sentence you posted maybe is not appropriate here, but how could I reedit this sentence?Thank you very much!Tristan

Our holiday season runs from approximately December 24th through January 2nd. You are impinging upon it with your letter.

The university I plan to go is in Hong Kong where the Christmas holiday lasts only two days as far as I know. So I am not impinging upon it.
