The unusual placement of wreaths and Christmas trees on the Holland Tunnel side has caused a furor online and led to a Change.org petition to move the decorations.

While the two “O-shaped” wreaths covered the “O” and “U” of Holland Tunnel, the “tree-shaped” wreath was placed over the “N” instead of the “A."

“Youve obviously put the wreath over the O and another wreath over the U cause its kind of O shaped, but with the tree, you didnt give a flying f— because you put the A-shaped tree over the N,” commuter Cory Windelspecht told NJ.com.

Windelspecht started a petition that has amassed over 2,800 signatures.

Even Budweiser has joined in the debate. The company tweeted a picture of its Newark brewery supporting Windelspecht. The picture shows a wreath over the "U" and a tree over the "E" in Budweiser.

The Port Authority's poll offered four options:

  • Leave the decorations as they are
  • Move the tree to hang over the “A” in the word “HOLLAND”
  • Move the tree to hang over the “A” and remove the second wreath thats now over the “U” in the world “TUNNEL”
  • Add a tree to hang over the “A”, but keep and adjust the existing tree to make the decorations symmetrical
