This sounds WONDERFUL!!! Exactly what the holidays is to me.
I don't so much get nervous about what he's going to do when I'm gone. (I too visit home once a year) But I do worry.. About not calling him enough, not giving him attention from afar, because somehow we'll always get in a fight over phone calls and what not when we (the kids and I) are gone. It's silly.
I hope you have a fabulous holiday at home. You deserve it.
