Who banned the Christmas trees from the White House?

Theodore Roosevelt did not have a Christmas tree in the White House every year. Whether he was against having one or whether he just did not get around to having one put up is a subject for debate. It is verifiable that there was no Christmas tree in the White House in 1902, 1904, and 1922. The lack of a tree in 1902 was due to the fact that President Theodore Roosevelt had not ordered one by December 23. In 1922 First Lady Florence Harding's illness led to a more subdued Christmas celebration at the White House and no Christmas tree.
