AHC: The Reason for the Season

Its a Christmas themed AHC, everyone!

For those of you who don't know Christmas wasn't always the 'most magical time of the year', time was Christmas was actually quite a rowdy holiday. The poor in the late middle ages would gather in drunken mobs and try to rob the richest houses around. How do we keep the 'Feast of Fools' as it was called, going to the modern day?
 
Was this a universal tradition, or just a tradition in a certain area? Because if you can universalise this tradition, you can keep it alive.

I wonder how you could sanitise it, since in the modern age, it would end up being the day the poor people come to the rich people districts to get shot--at least in the US, and no one wants to die on Christmas after all. Would people just end up TP'ing houses like on Halloween?
