The night before Christmas? Nothing but humbug, as it's business as usual. Everything is enforced on Dec. 24.
Below is a list of what to look for when parking the family Truckster.

THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS
Once every seven years, we all get a Christmas present, and this is one of those years. The day after Christmas is Sunday and parking meters will not be enforced…except on Port Authority property, where they are enforced 365 days a year (and 366 days during a leap year). And remember that on Monday, you still might be feeling jolly and it may feel like a holiday, or you may be out looking for deals at Macy’s, but in the eyes of the DPT, it's just a normal Monday where $250,000 worth of parking tickets will be issued, and 300 cars will be towed.
So remember to take a conscious breath every now and then, look up and down the street for 100 feet for any enforceable sign, avoid that $65 greeting card from DPT, and enjoy your holiday.
