Every year on December 24th for 100 years at 7pm on “The Town Green”, residents, families, friends, and guests gather in Basking Ridge, New Jersey for around 30 minutes to sing Christmas carols, wish good tidings, then move on to their personal family traditions. Church bells begin ringing at about 7pm. 10 songs are sung and the caroling ends around 7:35pm, again with a round of ringing church bells. The “Christmas Eve Sing” is the oldest continuous Christmas Eve sing in New Jersey.

How to Get Your Own Keepsake
If you live in Bernards Township and have never made the Christmas Eve carolling on the towne green, you’re missing a true gift of the holiday season. Take a look at the 100th Anniversary history story below.
Brooks Betz, a member of the Mr. Local History Project presented the idea to the board and they loved it. Seems that there were a few others that also remembered the scene of being on Mindowaskin pond in their early years. Anyone who has experienced it will remember it for sure. So the board approved this limited edition collectible for the New Jersey Historic Village Collection. At this point there will only be one production run so make sure you get yours while you can.
