Do you wish Merry Christmas to people you haven't spoke with for a while?

i met this guy about 10 months ago and just once, we texted for few weeks than NOTHING till August when he suddenly asked me out (but I said "no"). We haven't texted since then...and today he sent me "merry Christmas (my name) x" I texted him back saying merry Christmas to you too and he hasn't answered
