Mayor Fiorello La Guardia once sparked a Christmas tree controversy in NYC — opposing roadside tree stands and unintentionally setting off what many called a “war on Christmas.” The city responded with the Coniferous Tree Exemption so trees could be sold along the streets. Today, many New Yorkers still get their Christmas trees this way. La Guardia rests at Woodlawn, where his stories and legacy live on. #WoodlawnCemetery #LaGuardia #NYCHistory #HistoricFigures #WoodlawnStories | The Woodlawn Ce
