twirls, my husband never wrapped any of the presents in our house. It was just one of those jobs that was mine. On the other hand, he did many things I didn't such as change the oil in our cars. Even though he didn't wrap presents, I did share the presents I had bought for my kids with him and he seemed interested in that. I also "encouraged" him to do some shopping of his own for our kids so that he would feel more included. Anyway, I was never offended he didn't wrap presents, and he was never interested in decorating either. But he always helped to go pick out the tree, saw off the bottom so it would fit in the stand, and put up the Christmas lights outside. After you are married a while, you find a division of labor that works for you. This especially happened to us once we had kids. (Before kids, I changed my own oil!) If you really want your husband to help with the gift wrapping, can you ask for his help? And is it just the gift wrapping and decorating, or does he seem totally uninterested in anything Christmas? Maybe it is just not an important holiday to him.
