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) \u201cChristmases When You Were Mine\u201d 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, \u201cChristmases When You Were Mine\u201d fixates on prior Holidays, in which the song\u2019s protagonist was happier. Taylor\u2019s 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\u2019Christmases When You Were Mine\u2019 is one of the original songs that I wrote on this album. And when we went in to decide that we\u2019re gonna do a Christmas album I was like, \u2018Well, there\u2019s got to be something really original and different about it, or else there\u2019s no use doing it. So, this song I think is really different because it\u2019s 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\u2019re reminiscing about Holidays past, maybe with people you\u2019re not around anymore. And so this song is really special to me and I hope it\u2019s 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 \u201cChristmases When You Were Mine\u201d 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\u2019t performed the song since. Critical Reception Critics praised Taylor\u2019s 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: \u201cChristmases When You Were Mine\u201d (\u201ca mature, wistful ballad\u201d) and \u201cSanta Baby\u201d (\u201ca sassy wink-and-a-nod\u201d). A review in the Deseret News by Scott Iwasaki complimented Taylor\u2019s self-penned songs and said the EP overall was fine. Jonathan Takiff from the Philadelphia Daily News praised the original tracks with \u201cthe high gloss\u201d. Commercial Performance All of the tracks from the album except \u201cChristmas Must Be Something More\u201d received airplay on several country radio stations and therefore each charted on Billboard\u2018s Hot Country Songs chart. \u201cChristmases When You Were Mine\u201d peaked at No. 48. Lyrics [Verse 1] Please take down the mistletoe \u2018Cause I don\u2019t want to think about that right now \u2018Cause everything I want is miles away In a snow covered little town My momma\u2019s in the kitchen, worrying about me Season\u2019s greetings, hope you\u2019re well Well I\u2019m doing alright If you were wondering Lately I can never tell [Chorus] I know this shouldn\u2019t be a lonely time But there were Christmases when you were mine [Verse 2] I\u2019ve been doing fine without you, really Up until the nights got cold And everybody\u2019s here, except you, baby Seems like everyone\u2019s got someone to hold [Chorus] But for me it\u2019s just a lonely time \u2018Cause there were Christmases when you were mine [Verse 3] Merry Christmas, everybody That\u2019ll have to be something I just say this year I\u2019ll 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\u2019t be a lonely time But there were Christmases when I didn\u2019t wonder how you are tonight \u2018Cause 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
