It's like Dorian Gray in reverse, the photos get younger every year.

Hey Goulet!

Loved the bit they did on you on SNL with Will Ferrell. Very Funny. Anyway, just letting you know that you are still one hip dawg, and I may be 17, but dog-gone it....you're the jazziest CAT there ever was.

The 1992 card makes me want to eat mutton and listen to Liberace.

Some years ago I was astounded to watch him totally forget the words to the song he was doing on what I think was The Tonight Show. They cut to commercial and he tried again afterwards. Evidently, it had happened to him before...somewhat famously, with the national anthem, although he says he got a bad rap.

I like the latest one, the way they have that "couple on the brink" look.

Honey, you're squeezing my hand. Honey, that hurts....

That was way more entertaining that it should be. And who the hell would spend 12.00 for a Christmas card with Mr. and Mrs. Robert Goulet on it, anyway? There can't possibly be anyone collecting these things, can there?

I also absolutely love the "WELCOME TO MY SPACE" in quotes on the splash page. That made my day.

Um, put me down for one of each.

Sort of like a cultural wormhole to the 1970's, no?

Oh shut up you guys. Somewhere in your parents' house there's a record where Bob Goulet sings "Do You Hear What I Hear", and you all listen to it every Christmas Eve. You probably even sing along.

"Do you hear what Iiiiiiiiiiii heeeeaaaarrrrrrrrr......"

Gosh, miss lynnster, what kind of sick, twisted mind types "http://www.robertgoulet.com/" into their browser window, then explores further?!?!

Seriously... good link, even if it makes me scratch my head. I can't quite figure out if ol' Robert is doing this upfront, or as a self-satire. (Oh, and I think this FPP is a keeper!)

So, anybody notice the constant visibility of the sparkly rock on her ring finger throughout the years?

Lastly, "The Robert Goulet Letters," from Time Magazine December 2000.

The cards from 2000 and 2001 are obviously from the same photo session.

What I want to know is a) why didn't they get another set of photos taken for Christmas 2001 and b) did they really think no one would notice? I mean, come on people!

they were recovering from yet more surgery, juan, obviously. What is he, 80 now?

Well, filmgoerjuan, did you notice that the 1990 and 1993 cards are also clearly from the same photo session?

That's it...the Goulets have just destroyed Christmas for me! Thanks a lot, Bob!
