  1. For the man who has everything, Santa got a billionaire for Christmas.

  2. It was said of FDR, he had a 2nd rate mind, but a 1st rate temperament. Pritzker seems to take the bad in stride and enjoy the rest of the adventure.

  3. “I have three sleds like this…”

    - Gov Pritzker, maybe.

  4. “Santa, if you’re staying the night I know a good hotel nearby”

  5. … and Mr and Mrs Urkel cannot contain their excitement.

    Coal for you, lol

    “Santa, the progressive income tax is only effecting Illinois residents. Promise”

  7. I dunno if “Elf” needed a reboot with a Midwest Governor and an El train chase sequence, but…

  8. It’s such a major change of pace to have a governor who isn’t hyper-scripted and can genuinely have a good time without seeming forced.

  9. Gov: “You see kids, you may have a toy train but I can buy the CTA and its trains all for myself”….moving along….beep, beep.

  10. What’s not seen was the tension between the governor’s protective detail and Santa’s elf detail protecting everything else. It’s still being discussed today.

  11. HEY! HIGH FIVE…HIGH FIVE…Aw come on, man…HIGH FIVE!

    Jordan, we need to talk…

  12. It’s nice to see a governor not feeling the need to wear a costume. (Hat Tip to - NIU Grad -)

    “Hey, JB, remember me?”… said Bruce Rauner dressed as Santa…

  13. It’s just nice to meet another human who shares my affinity for elf culture.

  14. Odds better than 2:1 that Santa is wearing a wire

  15. “It’s like ‘Cash Cab’ but Santa hosts it… “

    Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Dec 18, 19 @ 3:38 pm

  16. “Santa, thanks for bringing the coal, but the El is electrical.”

    Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Dec 18, 19 @ 3:45 pm

  17. I watched the video and the difference between Governor Pritzker and Bruce Rauner is remarkable. What a welcome change to have someone in office who is able to relate to other people!

  18. Thanks 219 S. Dearborn Santa for the pass.

  19. Hardrock, Coco and JB

  20. The only thing ComEd is proving is the electricity.

    Comment by Donnie Elgin Wednesday, Dec 18, 19 @ 4:01 pm

  21. Grandma got run over by our governor,
    Taking CTA home from our house Christmas eve,
    You can say there’s no such thing as JB,
    But as for me and Rauner, we believe.

  22. Hallmark conjoined Santa special

    Comment by Rabid Wednesday, Dec 18, 19 @ 4:31 pm

  23. Santa, seen here snubbing Gov. Pritzker, is still upset at the elves unionizing with an Illinois local that supported then candidate Pritzker over “right to elve” supporter Governor Rauner. Later, after egg nog and cookies both men made peace and wished good will towards all men, and elves.

  24. Because… Claus‼

  25. I did not get to CapFax yesterday and so I got to this late … and almost spit my coffee on screen:

    “Santa, thanks for bringing the coal, but the El is electrical.”

    Very funny OW
