Yes, she loves working with her hands, be it Découpage, Norwegian rose-painting, pottery, Knitting or Christmas-decorations.

BTW: It's now confirmed that Märtha and her children will celebrate together with the Behns.

First Day of Christmas (December 25th): The Regent-Couple and The CP-Family will attend the traditional Christmas-Service in Holmenkollen Chapel (not long from The Royal Lodge) at 12:00 in the afternoon. TV2 News Channel will be live outside, with a reporter and their Royal Expert, Kjell Arne Totland.

So, what are they going to eat today (on Christmas Eve, which is the main day of Celebrations here in Norway)? Well, in contrast to us ordinary Norwegians (one can read what we eat in this English Wikipedia article - link), they've adopted a Danish-Christmas-tradition (through the Danish-born King Haakon WII) of eating roast pork as the main course. - And Queen Maud's English plum pudding for dessert, which nobody in the family likes, according to The King.Christmas-celebrations: The CP-family will (according to the court) celebrate with The Regent-Couple at Kongsseteren, which is situated on Voksenkollen in the outskirts of Oslo, not long from Holmenkollen. Not that surprising since they celebrated with CP MM's family at Skaugum last year.
About Kongsseteren (The Royal Lodge) - English Royal House article (link). - Plus a separate link to a pretty good photo.
About Holmenkollen - English Wikipedia article (link).
BTW: After the Lodge was completed in 1911, The RF used to celebrate every Christmas there during the reigns of Haakon VII and Olav V, something the King and Queen have mostly continued with.
And no, we haven't heard anything about Märtha and her children yet, but they will most likely celebrate with the Behn family (as Ari celebrated with the royals last year).
