The Queen of Christmas will not add gift wrapping to her resume.
On Thursday, December 19, Mariah Carey posted a hilarious video on Instagram documenting her gift wrapping skills. The “All I Want for Christmas Is You” hitmaker, 55, sat in front of her Christmas tree as she wrapped a few presents.
Carey showed off a pair of “super cute” white faux fur earmuffs with her initials embroidered on them. As she tucked the accessory into her Mariah Carey official Christmas MC gift wrapping paper, she quickly admitted, “This is really, really not my thing.”
“I don’t want to be the one who has to do this,” she said as she pulled out a large red ribbon. “I’ll buy presents, no problem,”
“Because I’m not good at it,” she continued, describing her (lack of) wrapping skills. “Not because I think I’m above wrapping presents. No, I’m not above wrapping presents!”
The five-time Grammy winner tried to use scissors to start cutting the gift wrap before saying: “This is my own fucking paper. Come on, you see this? I don’t want to do this and the scissors are huge. Who is doing this to me?”

After gently piecing together the crumpled gift wrap, she explained that she had the ribbon to finish her project. But before she could put the ribbon on the gift, it got stuck to her nails.
The singer then resigned herself to the stubbornly crumpled look of the gift wrap and decided to make it look like a big piece of candy, like “the candy that people have in their houses,” she said.
Carey was ready to put on the finishing touches, but she needed to find the missing red bow already tied. “It’s already made! See, that’s how people get away with this.” She had to bow one more time, losing her stamina and moaning about her lost bow before the video ended.
