our christmas JULKAPP that i made for family when they visited during the holidays.   this swedish tradition was discovered in my research on holiday celebrations from around the world.   a julkapp is a gift wrapped in many, many layers of paper (the more layers, the more "successful" the julkapp is) and left on the recipient's doorstep.  the julkapp took more than two hours to wrap (with recycled christmas paper and ribbons) and about an hour to unwrap.  it seems it was a successful julkapp!  this was such fun we have decided to have more julkapps in future christmas celebrations.
