Mariah Carey may be the undisputed Queen of Christmas, but it seems that not all festive tasks are her specialty. On Thursday, December 19, the All I Want For Christmas Is You hitmaker gave fans a good laugh with a video of herself attempting to wrap a gift.
“Wrapping gifts is NOT as easy as it looks!! What gifts are you wrapping this year??” Carey, 55, captioned the amusing clip, which featured her sitting in front of a beautifully decorated Christmas tree.
In the video, Carey showed off “super cute” white faux fur earmuffs embroidered with her initials before trying to wrap them in her official Mariah Carey Christmas gift wrap. However, the wrapping process did not go smoothly. “This is really, really not my thing,” the five-time Grammy Award winner confessed, clearly struggling with the task.
Using oversized scissors to cut the wrapping paper, Carey humorously quipped, “This is my own freaking paper. Come on, you see this? I don’t want to be doing this, and the scissors are huge. Who is doing this to me?”
The chaos continued as she encountered the all-too-familiar wrapping mishap—a piece of tape got stuck on her nails. But that didn’t stop the It’s a Wrap singer from finishing the job, wrapping the gift in a way that resembled a giant piece of candy.
Carey’s playful video comes after the conclusion of her Christmas Time tour, which wrapped up at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Tuesday, December 17. Fans loved seeing this behind-the-scenes glimpse of the holiday icon’s more relatable side, as she showed that even the Queen of Christmas can struggle with the simplest holiday tasks.
