One theory about how Santa gets all his work done is: Coffee. Lots of it.

Even if you're not St. Nick, if you need to stay alert driving during Christmas-time, the state's highway service areas are here to help.

All 18 Department of Transportation service plazas will serve up free java from 10 p.m. on Dec. 25 to 5 a.m. on Dec. 26.

The same offer applies on New Year's Eve. That's between 10 p.m. on Dec. 31 and 5 a.m. on Jan. 1.

The free coffee is sponsored by McDonalds, Burger King and Gulf.
