And to all New Jerseyans everywhere.
Yeah, even to those that taxes scared away
We say, hop a ride to NJ on Santa’s sleigh.
Love to Governor Chris Christie and Mary Pat
You’ll never find us wishing you would scat.
To Phil and Tammy Murphy, apparently quite looney
And to their nemesis, the ubiquitous Matt Rooney.
To Jesse Kurtz, Pat Cassio and Fernando Fernandez
And Joe Labarbera and Ramon Hernandez.
Cheeriest wishes to Joe Pannacchio and both Tom Keans
Ditto to NJ Transit, its buses and trains.
Our best to Mike Testa and Jack Ciattarelli
J. D. Bryden and Ramsey’s own Bridget Kelly.
Hey, Nick DeGregorio, Joe Condo and Jeff Van Drew
We’re wishing you the best in the year that’s new.
To graduates of Rutgers, Rowan and TCNJ
And even Princeton, though too far left you sway.
We wish a Joyous Yule to Kellyanne Conway
And Governor Christie Whitman, no matter what you say.
To Ed “The Trucker” Durr, Nick LaRotunda and Declan O’Scanlon
The journey is worth it, keep on amblin’
Our sincerest greetings to Holly Schepesi
The list is long and this ain’t easy.
We’re sending warm wishes to the Giants and Jets
As well to the Devils, but not Rangers or Nets.
To the USS New Jersey and Camden’s City Hall
And Melinda Ciattarelli, we hope you have a ball!
To Brian Fitzherbert, Frank Luna and Nick Gaudio
And how about Harry Hurley with all that audio.
And Rich Zeoli, you’re the tops
Along with Paul Kanitra and locally brewed hops.
Kevin Riordan, John Edmunds IV and Davendra Goswami
We wish you tomorrows that are bright and balmy.
And Rhoda Chodosh, you’re no deceiver
Along with Jo Pecorelli, another true believer.
To all those named Perozzi, Pacinelli, Quercetti or Cirucci
And how could we ignore the formidable Bill Palatucci?
Trust us, none of this is done on a whim
We’ve even included Steve Sweeney and Andy Kim.
And let’s not forget the guy known as “The Boss”
No, not Springsteen, we’re talkin’ George Norcross!
To Dave Fleischer, Steve Fulop and Jim McGreevey
We like Democrats too, so long as their not skeevy.
To Tutit’s Anna Marie, Joe Surowiec and Camy Trinidad
Not to mention Susan Bass Levin, she ain’t no fad.
To Tommy “Cutlet” DeVito, New Jersey really loves you
And the best to Nick DeGregorio and Jarrett Branch, too.
To Joey Del Palazzo and Frank Stefanko who were with us in the beginning
As photographers go, they're among the winning.
To a guy named Frank Sinatra, a treasured friend
And his twin, Father Robert — we’re coming to the end.
A love filled Merry Christmas to Anne and Jerry Klein,
And Lisa Simon and David Nugiel, you’re like fine wine.
To Cherry Hill's redoubtable gadfly Rick Short
And to Pnina Mintz, guardian of the local GOP fort.
Oh, my -- to one of our newest residents, Danielle Cohn
Who's made beautiful Longport all her own!
To Chris Lukach and the gang at AKG
And the Jersey Pinelands, may they ever so be.
To all our favorite people and places
Amidst our beloved state’s crowded spaces.
We send our jolliest salutations, even to those not mentioned here
With cuddly good wishes for the cheeriest New Year!
