A popular myth suggests that President Theodore Roosevelt “banned” Christmas trees from the White House because of his strong belief in environmental conservation. But there was no such ban—the 26th President’s family simply did not celebrate with a tree.

 

In 1902, the President’s son Archiesnuck a small Christmas tree into the residenceand hid it in a closet. The President was amused and allowed the tree to stay, coining a new family tradition.
