Mariah Carey has admitted wrapping Christmas presents is “not as easy as it looks”.
The self-proclaimed Queen of Christmas took to Instagram on Thursday to share a fun video showing her attempting to wrap gifts.
Sat in front of a Christmas tree and wearing a white robe and diamond necklace, Mariah held up a pair of white faux fur earmuffs and placed them in luxury paper embossed with her initials.
“This is really, really not my thing,” she confessed as she tried to wrap the item. “I don’t want to be the one to have to do this. I’ll buy the gifts, no problem. 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? Because I’m not good at it,” the Believe hitmaker continued. “Not because I think I’m above gift wrapping. No, I am not above gift wrapping!”
After crinkling the paper, Mariah tried to tape the parcel together. However, the tape soon became stuck to her nails.
Accordingly, the mother-of-two decided to top the present with a pre-tied red ribbon.
“It’s already made! See, that’s how people get away with this,” she sighed.
Mariah captioned the post, “Wrapping gifts is NOT as easy as it looks!! What gifts are you wrapping this year??”
The video comes days after the singer-songwriter concluded her Christmas Time tour.
Though the All I Want for Christmas Is You star was forced to cancel three gigs as a result of the flu, she recovered in time to perform at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on Tuesday night.
