In my family, the "tradition" was to go out on Christmas Eve and get the cheapest, scrawniest, marked-down piece of kindling we could find. Largely because my father was a procrastinator of the first water. But also because they were always about 1/10 the price. I still get amazed at people who put theirs up right after Thanksgiving.
