That makes it one of the earliest tracks she\u2019s ever written. When it came time to record the <em>Holiday Collection<\/em> a couple of years later, Taylor wanted to contribute a couple of original songs to her Christmas album because she wanted it to offer something unique to her fans.

Taylor wonders what would become of Christmas Day if there were no material things like gifts: Would people still celebrate the birth of the Jesus Christ, or would it just be some random day in December? She concludes that the true meaning of Christmas is the recognition and celebration of the man who sacrificed himself to save us all from our sins.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0cf2861 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"0cf2861\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-9609324988608069\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9609324988608069\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"4793113019\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-86f5fdf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"86f5fdf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Critical Reception<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dbc742e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dbc742e\" 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\tCritics praised Taylor\u2019s self-written material on the album.

Must Be Something More The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection EP (2007) \u201cChristmas Must Be Something More\u201d is a spiritual Christmas song written and performed by Taylor featured on her first extended play The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection (2007). It was also part of her 2003 Demo CD. Table of Contents Background and Lyrical Theme \u201cChristmas Must Be Something More\u201d was likely written when Taylor was thirteen years old, since it was included on her 2003 Demo CD. That makes it one of the earliest tracks she\u2019s ever written. When it came time to record the Holiday Collection a couple of years later, Taylor wanted to contribute a couple of original songs to her Christmas album because she wanted it to offer something unique to her fans. She told the Today Show in December 2007: \u00abWhen 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.\u00bb Taylor Swift The song explores the meaning of Christmas in a different perspective than many Christmas carols. Taylor wonders what would become of Christmas Day if there were no material things like gifts: Would people still celebrate the birth of the Jesus Christ, or would it just be some random day in December? She concludes that the true meaning of Christmas is the recognition and celebration of the man who sacrificed himself to save us all from our sins. Critical Reception Critics praised Taylor\u2019s self-written material on the album. Dan Maclntosh of Country Standard Time concluded, \u201cSwift is a fine singer, who finds ways to inject sincere emotion into every line she sings. They say the best things come in small packages. And that saying holds true for Swift\u2019s new one.\u201d In the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Kellie B. Gormly commented that the EP was \u201csweet\u201d and highlighted the \u201cdeeply spiritual\u201d track \u201cChristmas Must Be Something More\u201d as a standout. Lyrics [Verse 1] What if ribbons and bows didn\u2019t mean a thing? Would the song still survive without five golden rings? Would you still wanna kiss without mistletoe? What would happen if God never let it snow? What would happen if Christmas carols told a lie? Tell me, what would you find? [Chorus] You\u2019d see that today holds something special Something holy, not superficial So here\u2019s to the birthday boy who saved our lives It\u2019s something we all try to ignore And put a wreath up on your door So here\u2019s something you should know that is for sure Christmas must be something more [Verse 2] What if angels did not pay attention to All the things that we wished they would always do? What if happiness came in a cardboard box? Then I think there is something we all forgot What would happen if presents all went away? Tell me, what would you find? [Chorus] You\u2019d see that today holds something special Something holy, not superficial So here\u2019s to the birthday boy who saved our lives It\u2019s something we all try to ignore And put a wreath up on your door So here\u2019s something you should know that is for sure Christmas must be something more [Bridge] We get so caught up in all of it Business and relationships Hundred-mile-an-hour lives And it\u2019s this time of year And everybody\u2019s here It seems the last thing on your mind [Chorus] Is that the day holds something special Something holy, not superficial So here\u2019s to Jesus Christ who saved our lives It\u2019s something we all try to ignore And put a wreath up on your door But here\u2019s something you should know that is for sure Christmas must be something Christmas must be something Christmas must be something more [Outro] There\u2019s gotta be more There\u2019s gotta be more General Information Artist Taylor Swift Album The
