The bill proposes to declare "Gracias New Mexico," written by Carol J. Mayberry-Sanchez, as the official state winter holiday song. A new section is added to Chapter 12, Article 3 of the New Mexico Statutes Annotated (NMSA) 1978, which formally recognizes the song and includes its lyrics. The song reflects themes of family, community, and the winter holiday spirit in New Mexico, celebrating local traditions and the beauty of the state's landscape.

This legislative action aims to honor the cultural significance of the song and its connection to the state's identity during the winter holiday season. By designating "Gracias New Mexico" as the official state winter holiday song, the bill seeks to promote appreciation for New Mexico's unique heritage and foster a sense of unity among its residents during the holidays.
