Are those Impact Sockets with a ball joint? That sounds pretty freaking handy.

yeah. I really wanted the ones that are dedicated 6" extension ones, but all I could find was like $200 snap-on sets.

so there needs be be room to fit the bulky thing over the bolt, but yeah they are nice to have.

That is a shame .
The wife and I never spent a holiday with her family or mine after we married.
When the boys came aloneg I guess them doing it with us instilled that tradition in them and some of the friends that they grew up with or have come to know.
two of the sons are talking they will start staying home and we understand it is time for them to do their own tradition
So guess it will slowly die away but the wife and I are ready as it gets really tough cooking a meal for 35 -40 people or more.
It has been an enjoyable 43 years

Yea, my family is small to begin with, 9 people total. Once my grandparents passed away we stopped going there and then my mother took over the meals. I think every year she complained, it seemed as though she hated it. ... when I look back, i think my mother just hated a lot of things that inconvenienced her; like family. lol
I think my aunt and uncle spent the 25th with my cousin
we invited my cousin over and a friend who is away from his fam over for the 24th.
My parents and my sister spent it likely on the 24th elsewhere.

It is a shame, it was a bit of a tough Christmas for everyone in my house meaning my wife and I. My son doesnt understand as he is only 3 and is happy to get monster jam trucks and hot wheel cars.

Feeding 35-40 people is nuts! Talk about hot plates, tinfoil and food sitting in a microwave and oven. LOL
Good on you for being the cookers, big task! What was on the menu?
