Free Coffee Offered at Highway Service Plazas on Christmas Night

There will be free java served at the state's 18 travel plazas from 10 p.m. on Christmas to 5 a.m. on Dec. 26.

  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.
