If you guys were really bonded, he won't forget you! I had two conures before and one of them LOVES my best friend/roommate who goes on road trip for business for couple weeks at a time. During the period he was gone, Ruby the Nanday conure tolerates me, lets me take her out, she talks to me and give me kisses. The moment she hears him coming in the house, she took off from my room and flew right to him. I couldn't touch her afterwards....That's why I left them with him when I moved...So no he won't forget you. 
A bird never forgets a good thing....... OF COURSE HE WILL REMEMBER YOU
As Mike mentioned If you guys were really bonded, he won't forget you!
After having an ice-skating accident, I could not cope with my African Grey Congo. My ex-husband offered to take care of him. I was his guardian for 7 wonderful years.
After not seeing him for 2 years, he immediately came straight to me, and started kissing me.
They have wonderful memories, storing the best......

Tootsie, my blue crown conure, used to be with my brother's family and had bonded well with him. But her noise and attitude towards the rest of his family made it so that she needed to find a new home. With me fortunately. I moved quite a distance away and she had not seen my brother for over 5 years. When she did, she recognized him instantly and started "muttering" at him. She went right to him when we went inside and she was let out of her traveling cage.
I would not have any worries about your bird remembering you. In fact, you will probably be in for a noisy and excited welcome when you return.

My birds always seem to recognize visitors they haven't seen for, sometimes, years. They settle down much more quickly with a person they've met previously than with a new stranger visiting.
One of 2 things will happen: he will either be head over heels with joy to see you, or he will be mad at you at first for leaving him.
For the first time in 3 weeks since the new Amazon came here, I went away Friday for the whole day. When I got back in the evening he was very upset. It occurred to me he wasn't as secure in his new home as I had thought he was. I think he was just scared I might not come back, or maybe he was going to end up in another new home. After I talked to him for a bit, he calmed down. But, then he was acting indifferent to me. After about an hour, I got him to communicate with me a bit, and then the next morning he was back to normal again.

thank you everyone! all your experiences have made me feel a LOT better! I really feel sad for leaving him for christmas... This is the first time I take a sad/happy vacation...
lexx510 I will be leaving him with a cousin of mine that has birds, she is excited to have a sun conure stay with her for a bit. she works at a vets office so she is constantly handling new birds, so she's not scared to take a new bird out of the cage like I am with birds I don't know. But I see him and he is so adjusted to our daily routines, and I feel so sad...

No way! Your baby will not forget you. My 10-year-old son recently visited his dad out of state for 3 weeks. Usually, I tell my son to say "bye-bye" to our 4 parrots before he leaves. This time, we were in a rush to get to the airport and I forgot to remind him to say bye-bye to the birds. I dropped my son off at the airport and returned home- my birds saw me walk in the door without Julian. I greeted my parrots and then wondered why my blue crowned conure, Lioncoln, kept screaming all day long. I walked up to see what was wrong with him. Lincoln stared at me intensely and he then said "hi." I returned his greeting...
Then Lincoln asked, "Julian go bye-bye?" Lincoln continued to ask about Julian until he returned home from visiting his dad. Julian has been going out of state to visit his dad for about 2 years, and each time Lincoln asks about him quite often until he returns.
I assure you that your bird will not forget about you. Lincoln is always very excited to see Julian return home from his visits to his dad's house.
