No news on the christmas photosession, usually in the days close to x-mas. one year they had a really awful one, just the grown ups outside Akershus palace after visiting the royal graves, the press was disapointed they did not get a nice one at the royal lodge like they did in 2000
2000 at the royal lodge, mostly Marius and the Queen with the polarbear skin
2001 Roay lodge, decorating the three and posing
2002 Akershus, Märtha was not there, boooring and grey, not at al x-massy
2003 At the palace. Maud Angelica and Sonja stole the show, Mette-Marit was pregnant, King Harald on sick leave, Marius was not there. Haakon and Mette-Marit also had one with Marius posing infront of the x-mas three at Skaugum the same day
2004 Haakon and Mette-Marit had one at Skaugum baking and then one with the whole family also at Skaugum in the days before x-mas.
Usually the royals attend church on christmas day at the Homenkollen chapel, that is close to the royal lodge.
On new years day they usually go to Asker church which is the parish church for Skaugum, the bishop of Oslo leads the service.
In 2003 Haakon and Marius went to christmas service in Asker church
