And when the “world isn’t fair” she imagines going there with him, and it gives her strength. When she feels alone he “remind of home” on that farm. To this day, the memories keep her warm, because she still has that security and love in her boyfriend. Each detail paints a picture of safety and childhood and joy. The “light in the barn” or the warmth of the fire in the midst of a snowy day. Taylor fondly recalls details from her time at the Christmas tree farm. In the town, kids are dreamin' of sleighs ChorusĪlthough Taylor may not be back at the Christmas tree farm, she finds that same love in the arms of her boyfriend as they sit, “watchin’ the fire glow” under “the mistletoe.” Her relationship with him runs deep, and she sees the same warmth, forgiveness and safety in their interactions that she had during that special, almost magical, time of her childhood. She wants to join the beauty of where she’s been with the joy she’s found in the present. In this place, “mistakes are forgiven.” Her line “and you would be there too” could be addressing someone who wasn’t originally in her life when she lived on the Christmas tree farm, and is likely her boyfriend. Behind the warmth of traditions, there is a warmth of heart. There is more to this special place than Christmas traditions. It is a place of community, “where the people would come,” and where Christmas traditions are exemplified through “sparkling lights” and “cider.” The Christmas tree farm is representative of all the things she loves about Christmas: big and small.
Though she has moved away, the Christmas tree farm and what it represents to her live in her heart. In the music video for “Christmas Tree Farm,” there are clips from this part of her childhood. Taylor spent her childhood living on a Christmas tree farm in Pennsylvania. “Just like magic” she’s back to her childhood and on the “Christmas tree farm.” Verse 1 Taylor is having difficulty enjoying the days leading up to Christmas because she’s been caught up in the “stress and holiday shopping traffic.” In the midst of the busy chaos, she’s able to recall a place that represents family, friends and love to her. Introīut I close my eyes and I'm somewhere else While she misses it, she has found that same love and security in her boyfriend, and is grateful for their relationship. The lyrics describe a place of joy, family, and community and show how Taylor cherishes the memories she has from her time there. Taylor Swift grew up on a Christmas tree farm, but this song does more than reminisce. She wrote the song only about a week before its release and worked with the producers to have it finished in two days. It is a song that is either mostly, or more likely, entirely autobiographical and appears to be very close to Taylor’s heart.
Though “Christmas Tree Farm” is a single, it shares the same tone as the album it follows. Since the release of the “Lover” album, Taylor Swift’s lyrics have focused on themes of love and redemption.
