This is the official nmlegis action history. I'm doing my best to translate the LONG/WEIRD-STRING to something less gibberishy. And before you ask, no, the "Legis Day" number has no mapping to the real world.

SENATE BILL 379
57th legislature - STATE OF NEW MEXICO - first session, 2025
INTRODUCED BY
Pete Campos
AN ACT
RELATING TO STATE SONGS; DECLARING "GRACIAS NEW MEXICO", WRITTEN BY CAROL J. MAYBERRY-SANCHEZ, AS THE OFFICIAL STATE WINTER HOLIDAY SONG.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO:
SECTION 1. A new section of Chapter 12, Article 3 NMSA 1978 is enacted to read:
"[NEW MATERIAL] STATE WINTER HOLIDAY SONG.--The words and music of "Gracias New Mexico", written by Carol J. Mayberry-Sanchez, are declared to be the state winter holiday song. The words are:
"(first verse)
Feast day empanadas
Chile simmers, green and red
Dances at the pueblos
Native ladies baking bread
Bizcochitos in the oven
Posole on the stove
Moms and daughters busy making
Tamales tied with bows
(chorus)
Gracias New Mexico
For family, friends and folks we know
O Come All Ye Faithful
Gracias New Mexico
(second verse)
Wild horses graze together
Some hunker near a pinon tree
The snow is gently falling
In a pattern only clouds can see
Winding through a deep arroyo
A shepherd tends his flock of sheep
In this land of enchantment
December snuggles sound asleep
(chorus)
Gracias New Mexico
For family, friends and folks we know
O Come All Ye Faithful
Gracias New Mexico
(third verse)
Turquoise skies change to starlight
Moon-cast shadows on the snow
Folks prepare for Las Posadas
Farolitos cast a sunset glow
A pinon fire in the kiva
Flickers on adobe walls
A sweet guitar is softly playing
A verse of Deck the Halls
(chorus)
Gracias New Mexico
For family, friends and folks we know
O Come All Ye Faithful
Gracias New Mexico
A season for caring, sharing, giving love
That we may grow
Peacefully, together
Gracias New Mexico"."
