The wavy lines make a path up to the door? Although, I'm not sure that's the door.

Think WB was guessing what it was that caught your attention. Maybe you just meant the stamp itself?

I'm sober, honest I am!!
Your title said it was a coincidence, I kinda thought the wavy lines in the cancel looked a little like a meandering path leading up to the building in the background.
...and I still say I'm as sober as the morning dew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, the fact that it's a Christmas stamp?
Well, I collect Christmas stamps and appreciate you posting it, because to be honest, I very likely wouldn't have recognized it as one. Now I know.
I wonder now if he's making some sort of a Christmas decoration, maybe a wreath?

According to the caption in Scott, they are putting up a sheaf for the birds.
A sheaf is a bundle of grain, so it's a bird feeder.

Oh man, now you go into all the intricate detail. You know, I could've used a little of that in your OP? 
But wait, what's a bird feeder?

Almost looks like they've suspended something up from the top of a door frame and their husking or stripping something off. I have NO CLUE what they're doing

Without doing any googling, it looks like they are making some kind of sweep like in a broom as if to sweep snow or something. The child may be holding additional bristles. Or, maybe a huge torch.

My Facit catalogue makes this note regarding the stamp:
"The A. Almqvist family erecting sheaf for birds."

Was working on Germany the other day and found a similar nice surprise--this stamp is Scott #200.
Wonder how many other similar coincidences are lurking out there?

So this is Almqvist, by Holmqvist, putting up a sheaf of twigs (sort of), and qvist means twig.
