Awwww! :( too bad you only have excellent drawing skills. At this time of year, my family makes a little “Santas workshop” in our kitchen, and there everyone can join as we wrap gifts in giftpaper. After sixteen years, you kinda get the hang of it.
we are probably related somehow. my brother, my half brother and me are totally unable to wrap presents, so it must be something in our father’s heritage. little brother is quite good at it. we’re pretty sure he’s a changeling.
I HAVE THIS PROBLEM TOO IT IS A CURSE OR SOMETHING
Like, I’m married to the clumsiest dude on the planet, and even HE side-eyes my gift wrapping. I have never been allowed to wrap a Santa present in my life, something about keeping the illusion and my “signature giftwrap” how rude wow
Just buy the wrapping paper with the graph style boxes on the reverse side. It helped me learn how to wrap when I was a kid and now I wrap gifts for everyone. =) But the wrapping isn’t all that important, you’ll never see a kid smile at you and say, “Mommy, this is such pretty paper. I don’t care whats inside, i’m just gonna leave it wrapped.” ;)
The secret is my father-in-law. He has absorbed everyone’s present-wrapping ability and uses it to make the seams match on odd-shaped presents. Seriously, the guy can wrap a football without a box and get the pattern to match over the whole thing.

At least he/she won’t be able to guess what the gift is. =O I’m not too good at wrapping gifts either. =(

Hahaha, c’Est exellent, j’ai exactement le même “problème”.
Je dessine pour travailler… mais demandez moi pas d’emballer un cadeau…
My parents never wrapped my Santa presents. We would just see the tree surrounded by toys and stuff and claim which pile we wanted.
My motto is: It only has to look good on one side! ;D
Maybe your Santa uses only gift bags

I think that’s the saddest/most despondent face I’ve seen you draw on your character. Awwwww!
I see the word despondent in a commen on the internet, and suddenly my hope in humanity just raised a bar. Thank you MC (love your comic too Boum! ;))
I blame my roommate, she’s always throwing new vocab at me!
You truly are a master of charming facial expressions. That last panel could also work as a Christmas postcard or a to/from gift tag.
Thanks to the previous commenters, I’ve learned a new word: despondent
Aww thanks ;_;
I can’t wrap presents either. I mean I can. But I just can’t make myself do it. GIFT BAGS rock.
