@GovChristie when you getting on stage with Bruce ?

— michael coppola (@camtappy) December 24, 2012

When New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie posted a link to “an oldie but goodie” on Christmas Eve, we thought for sure it was going to be Bruce Springsteen’s version of “Santa Claus is Coming to Town.” Instead, the Boss’s number one superfan shared a video of himself, recorded Sunday night with the Boston Pops.

Does Gov. Christie’s seasonal reading earn him good will or the Scrooge treatment?

@govchristie @danaperino Twas the night before Christmas and NJ’s still a mess; and Obama is sunning and funning in Hawaii feeling blessed!
