There is an old christmas tradition from southeastern Scania that is unheard of among the younger folks, despite being practised by those of just a couple generations past.
It would go something like this...
Those young or playful would find a comically worthless present - say a piece of firewood - enscribe it with yuletide blessings or less couth message if mischivious, and optionally wrap it as a gift. The bearer would run up to a neighbours house, open the door and chuck the present into the hall. With haste, the person would run off unseen.
Hopefully the neighbour would be surprised - yet delighted - by this mischief. One wishes the neighbour then would continue the act by delivering the present to another neighbour, maybe having added a message of their own.
