The prompt was simple:

“On the first day of Christmas New Jersey gave to me _____.”

Callers just had to fill in the blanks with something Jersey-centric. For instance, “on the first day of Christmas, New Jersey gave to me: A pork roll, egg, and cheese.”

After the lyrics were all put together, the station was contacted by Ashley Matthews, who is the director of choral activities at Hillsborough High School.

She offered to have her show choir “Legacy,” record the song with the Jersey twist and we were ecstatic!

The students fully committed to the bit and had incredible harmonies while doing so. They sounded so good that we wanted to bring them back on air again, this time with updated lyrics for 2025.
