It was lovely.

Fabulous!

Possibly more so in future.
He'll may be still in the ' playing with boxes' stage!
I remember my daughter was 10 months at her first Xmas and was really rather overwhelmed by it all!

He's just a big kid...I'm sure he'll have a ball!

If I remember correctly (it´s all a bit of a blur) my twins were totally unimpressed by the tree and the presents on their first christmas and just played with the ribbons.. still christmas with children is something special, no matter how old they are. I´m sure they´ll have a very happy day this year!

Sweet.

Benedict is chewing gum again, I see.

And that's a sweet story. In the coming years (and right now, of course), I'm sure he and Sophie will be making lots of nice family memories.

I'm only hoping the gum has cured him of the fags!

**Posted by besleybean** November 29, 2015 8:19 pm

Yay!

**Posted by besleybean** November 29, 2015 8:52 pm

Yes, that was the one which really had me denying it was true...only cos I was blinded by thinking he was with somebody else!
Anyhow, it's worked out brilliantly for both of them and for this I am pleased.

Those photos of him chewing gum on the PSFF red carpet were taken a while back, Yitzock. Or did you see other pictures of him chewing recently???

The reason I said that is because I remember seeing gifs from some interview that he gave a while ago (I'm not sure how long ago, I didn't know what it was or what it was for) after he was given an award and he was chewing gum. I remember it because he was saying how he was chewing gum and wanted to get rid of it before being interviewed.

You sometimes have to be incredibly strong willed(like Stephen Fry was), or else have very supportive friends.
I worry about Benedict falling off the wagon when he's around still smoking friends...he was out with James the other night!
Plus during film, when possibly he's away from family connections...there was that one photo from the Strange filming, where he possibly could have had a cigarette in his mouth!
Point is in this day age: nobody should smoke.
It's an incredibly stupid thing to do.
But I would associate it with a public schoolie trying to be macho...
Anyhow, let's hope that's behind him now!

And now he's a real Dadda...aw.

**Posted by Yitzock** November 30, 2015 4:30 pm

He looks so pleased with himself, ha ha.

**Posted by Yitzock** November 30, 2015 8:20 pm

It's nice that they have each other for support.

**Posted by besleybean** November 30, 2015 8:32 pm

Let's be honest, they wouldn't be taking photos of Sophie unless Benedict was there!

**Posted by Yitzock** November 30, 2015 9:15 pm

Well, I don't think that's quite true. If someone is at an event and they are on the red carpet, they get their picture taken no matter how famous they are. If Sophie were at an event without him, they'd still be taking her picture. At least, that's what it seems to me based on different things I've seen online. I've seen red carpet photos of directors and actors I've never heard of, because everyone at the event was photographed.

Yeah, she kind of does. Gosh, do they look like newlyweds! Another one of them looking overjoyed, it makes me feel happy.

the back view of this dress always irritates me, it looks like that's Bens arm around Sophies shoulder at first, but it would be a bit too thin and short.
