Helen Jaktlund at Pingstkyrkan was worried about this year's collection, given the turbulent economy in the country.

- We broke a record last year, but even though many are having a tougher time this year, we have broken a new record this year as well.

We have received over SEK 530,000 and around 600 people have each received a Christmas gift, she says.

Julkassen is a collaboration between the Church of Pentecost, the Church of Sweden and the Länstidningen.
