Below is a photo I took earlier this evening at 11:20 at a rest area on the northbound side of I-95 near Mims, FL.
About 12 or 14 guys parked for the night on Christmas Eve. Tens of thousands of drivers are doing the same thing all over the country tonight. May they all get safely home to their loved ones.
