And when we went in to decide that we're gonna do a Christmas album I was like, 'Well, there's got to be something really original and different about it, or else there's no use doing it. So, this song I think is really different because it's a different spin on a Christmas song. My favorite kind of thing to write about is heartbreak or something like that. And a lot of times during the Holidays you're reminiscing about Holidays past, maybe with people you're not around anymore. And so this song is really special to me and I hope it's a little bit different than any other Holiday song.\u00bb\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-q-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-blockquote__author\">Taylor Swift<\/cite>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-523b3a0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"523b3a0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIt is the only song to date that Taylor has ever recorded in which Nathan Chapman is credited as a co-writer.

When You Were Mine The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection EP (2007) &#8220;Christmases When You Were Mine&#8221; is a wistful Christmas song written and performed by Taylor. It is featured on her first extended play The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection\u00a0(2007). Table of Contents Background and Lyrical Theme Lyrically, &#8220;Christmases When You Were Mine&#8221; fixates on prior Holidays, in which the song&#8217;s protagonist was happier. Taylor&#8217;s goal was to write a song that differentiated itself from most other Christmas songs. Before performing the song live on the Today Show in December 2007, she said: \u00ab&#8217;Christmases When You Were Mine&#8217; is one of the original songs that I wrote on this album. And when we went in to decide that we&#8217;re gonna do a Christmas album I was like, &#8216;Well, there&#8217;s got to be something really original and different about it, or else there&#8217;s no use doing it. So, this song I think is really different because it&#8217;s a different spin on a Christmas song. My favorite kind of thing to write about is heartbreak or something like that. And a lot of times during the Holidays you&#8217;re reminiscing about Holidays past, maybe with people you&#8217;re not around anymore. And so this song is really special to me and I hope it&#8217;s a little bit different than any other Holiday song.\u00bb Taylor Swift It is the only song to date that Taylor has ever recorded in which Nathan Chapman is credited as a co-writer. In all of their other collaborations, Chapman is only credited as a producer, while Taylor and sometimes other songwriters are listed as the songwriters. Live Performances While promoting the Holiday Collection, Taylor performed &#8220;Christmases When You Were Mine&#8221; twice. She debuted it live at the Jingle Fest on November 25, 2007, and also performed it on December 25 (Christmas Day) on the Today Show. She hasn&#8217;t performed the song since. Critical Reception Critics praised Taylor&#8217;s self-written material on the album. David Yonke in The Blade wrote that he wished the EP had been longer, and selected two tracks as highlights: &#8220;Christmases When You Were Mine&#8221; (&#8220;a mature, wistful ballad&#8221;) and &#8220;Santa Baby&#8221; (&#8220;a sassy wink-and-a-nod&#8221;). A review in the Deseret News by Scott Iwasaki complimented Taylor&#8217;s self-penned songs and said the EP overall was fine. Jonathan Takiff from the Philadelphia Daily News praised the original tracks with &#8220;the high gloss&#8221;. Commercial Performance All of the tracks from the album except &#8220;Christmas Must Be Something More&#8221; received airplay on several country radio stations and therefore each charted on Billboard&#8216;s Hot Country Songs chart. &#8220;Christmases When You Were Mine&#8221; peaked at No. 48. Lyrics [Verse 1] Please take down the mistletoe &#8216;Cause I don&#8217;t want to think about that right now &#8216;Cause everything I want is miles away In a snow covered little town My momma&#8217;s in the kitchen, worrying about me Season&#8217;s greetings, hope you&#8217;re well Well I&#8217;m doing alright If you were wondering Lately I can never tell [Chorus] I know this shouldn&#8217;t be a lonely time But there were Christmases when you were mine [Verse 2] I&#8217;ve been doing fine without you, really Up until the nights got cold And everybody&#8217;s here, except you, baby Seems like everyone&#8217;s got someone to hold [Chorus] But for me it&#8217;s just a lonely time &#8216;Cause there were Christmases when you were mine [Verse 3] Merry Christmas, everybody That&#8217;ll have to be something I just say this year I&#8217;ll bet you got your mom another sweater And were your cousins late again? When you were putting up the lights this year Did you notice one less pair of hands? [Chorus] I know this shouldn&#8217;t be a lonely time But there were Christmases when I didn&#8217;t wonder how you are tonight &#8216;Cause there were Christmases when you were mine [Outro] You were mine General Information Artist Taylor Swift Album The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection EP Released October 14, 2007 Recorded 2007 Genre Country Length 3:06 Label Big Machine Records Songwriters Taylor
