“Christmas Wrapping” is a Christmas song originally released by the American band the Waitresses in 1981. Mariah covered the song during her 2022 Merry Christmas To All! tour and included it as a bonus track on the 30th anniversary editions of her “All I Want For Christmas Is You” single.
“Bah! humbug!” no, that's too strong
'Cause it is my favorite holiday
But all this year's been a busy blur
Don't think I have the energy
Deck those halls, trim those trees
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer
I just need to catch my breath
Christmas by myself this year
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Hardly dashing through the snow
'Cause I bundled up too tight
Last minute have-to-dos: a few cards, a few calls
Because it's RSVP
No, thanks, no party lights
It's Christmas eve, gonna relax
Doing Christmas right this time
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
I couldn't miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
I couldn't miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
I couldn't miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
I couldn't miss this one this year
