On January 6th, early in the morning before dawn, the head of the household in villages goes into the forest with his sons to find an oak log (badnjak) that they'll burn in the evening.

In the city, this has turned into a massive sale of oak branches in markets and shops. I mean, not all of Belgrade is going to go out together and chop down the nearby oak trees. Plus, there's nowhere to burn it all anyway.
