I did that commute once on a holiday and never again.

Now I just get a cheapo hotel room near Newark and take public transit the evening before. A lot of the airport hotels have easy shuttles to the terminals.

Traffic isn't bad early AM on a holiday. Plan to leave closer to 6am/7am and grab coffee at the airport.

Airport shouldn't be terrible either - TSA numbers last year were below average for the month.

Depends on where you're going from. If you're anywhere near the parade in midtown, find an underground way to Penn and take NJT to the airtrain station one stop beyond Newark, leave with plenty of time. Downtown or Brooklyn/Queens, I'd try to cross lower manhattan or Staten Island to stay clear of the parade. I need to be in Princeton by 1 from Astoria, my plan is Woodside LIRR to Penn, then NE Corridor to Princeton to avoid all the parade stuff that will be wrapping up then.
