I have fond memories of the Holtz Christmas' that I will cherish forever. When I was little, the most important thing was opening up the Barbie doll, which I already knew I was getting (since it was opened three nights earlier and rewrapped). Or, watching Jill eat the candy and blame it on my dad because it wasn't replaced fast enough. Now, Christmas has become more special. Although, Grandpa is not with us; we have created memories in his honor. A lovely brick in his name purchased by my very generous cousins (which Grandma proudly displays in Luther Manor Apartment # 203 next to her eye caps and heat pads), and many memories more to come. See, the Holtz family Christmas is not your traditional Christmas gathering. For some families, we only meet once a year, and the first words out of our mouths are always "Go Yankees, or Go Boston." We laugh, rarely cry; except when these are appropriate times. When we leave, we countdown to the next Christmas.
Welcome to the CHAZ F. Holtz blog site where we can read my updated excursions with Grandma. I will also drop a few hints on where I went, the sky is the limit with her. I will post often (until I get a full-time job) then I will forget this exists. I will also print this out Christmas Eve and pass it along Christmas day.
My Christmas shopping began when Grandma picked up a plastic Santa and said "Who should we give this too." First off, I set some guidelines. Just because I am her eyes, My name is not on the tag. So if you don't like it, you can't send me threatening e-mails. Second of all, I told her to give the plastic Santa to Kristin. (Just making sure you were paying attention). She did purchase the Santa, but later returned it. I was not told who would be the lucky recipient of this "MAJOR AWARD."
I will post more with perhaps some pictures! There will be a "guess who is getting this contest" and as I drive Grandma all over Western New York, I will have her recount her Christmas memories and I will post them on here as well.

that's not true! I distinctly remember crying just last year, when gram threw that can of simonize on my lap!
How fun is this! The only problem with Christmas is it is way to short, and there just never is enough time to catch up with the people that mean the most to me. Note to family, if you have not noticed when Jenna takes on something it consumes her. So be prepared to be inundated til 12/24. Besides Santa came early for me "JT" is returning for one more year!
love to all.
who is chaz????
If I write something negative or nasty is the administrator of this site going to delete me too?
who the hell is anonymous? and when did he become part of the family. no oyster stuffing for him!
How cool is that?? Everyone made login names, Grandma has one too. Waiting for Jill to get home so I can upload the pictures!!
I would believe everyone would remain anonymous.... Would'nt you? And there is no"E" in anonymous either...
Christmas at 237 Grove St was always memorable, the Christmas tree always went in the same corner, and went up when there was an empty beer case to perch it on. One yr a full case was used, what a mess we had when an evening of playing cards had emptied the fridge of Genny's and we had to take the tree down to get at the very last stash in the house! Bulbs broke, water spilled, and mayhem ensued! And Grampa's laughter filled the house.
...and it's Patti with an i-no e or y. Or your could just call me "your Highness", with or without the royal.
ahh. Grove street, I can't remember much, except for the smell of real pine siding. Mmm, pinealicious!
Interesting, it's Kristen with an "e". Glad we've covered off on all our vowels.
in prep for the holiday season, I'd refer my beloved family to one of my favorite websites:

good news -- they're doing a christmas story too!
Kristen, that is the best, it currently is playing is "its a wonderful life" in 30 seconds done with bunnies, it is the best! And Oh by the way, Gramma says we have to "cool it" with the e-mails as "they cost money"!!! I tried to register as a blogger but all the good names are taken!
I am really glad that i am in possession of all of those Playboys that did so much damage to the pre-teenage males of the family. They might make for a good xmas gift for someone.
sure. new posts daily. I've checked, Jenna... somebody's not keeping up with their blogly duties.
Sincerely, Ayimeeeeg and Adaeem.
Gotta love the ancient norse spelling.
ps... we all know who "anonymous" with posession of the ancient playboys is. Loretta Swit. Foxy.
hey-we could do a 30 second bunny movie on the Chritmas Story. Most of you know the thing by heart anyhow!
Just in case anyone cares; the 'e' in Jeff is silent. I'm just letting you know.
can I get a clarification on the pronunciation of 'Jeff' minus the 'e'
Geez, Jff, did it take you 2 days to come up with that? senility's a bitch.
He is turning 40 this year after all!
How do you say Jff? I would hate to embarass myself by mispronouncing his name on Christmas? Would'nt I look stupid!
I see, I see... pick on the follicly challenged guy. That's great. Frickin' beautiful.
Follicly is that even a word?
Ohhh it's a word.
So who is going to give some clarity on this "new" approach to the holiday cheer at the Rices. I hear there is a game being planned? Each of us bring a gift for ??$$?? Who is in charge? There must be someone in charge...is it you Adaeeem? Is this a new married thing? What exactly is the plan? Anyone? Anyone?...This is the POOR Rice household who can't remember their @#$%^&* password!
I believe that the correct term is "frolically" challenged. This would involve either not having fun of any sort, or being a bald Chinese guy. What happened to all of the spelling problems? I was learning a lot!
as a newly married person, I believe the tradition is that all xmas gifts should go to me. You can all chip in for an xbox 360. Don't blame me, its the law.
Although I am breaking the "Christmas" theme...it is now time to ask Jeff about our fantasy football league...speaking of challenged!
Talk about challenged, Sandra created a login ID and now only a few days later can't remember her password. Hmmm... maybe for Christmas Sandra needs a ummm... ummm one of those... you know.
so, is this the deal? grandma's christmas shopping is done, and all the witty banter ends? I was having so much fun, I forgot to ask for a present. I hate it when that happens. Guess I'm the one getting the present that "grandma bought, but couldn't remember who it was for" this year.
Hey Adam...I thought you were from the smart family!!! Put your curser up on the chaz F Holtz line on the top of this page and it will open up a whole new world to you--Sandra
