Winter Song Of The Day: "Back To December" - Taylor Swift

It's December and as a devotee to all things Holiday I thought I'd roll out some of my favorite Christmas/Winter music throughout the month. Check back every day for tracks old, new, classic and unique. Happy Holidays!

There's a reason breakup songs reference winter. If the split was unwelcome, it feels like the dead earth under a blanket of snow is the only thing that gets what you're going through.

Taylor Swift's "Back to December" references the winter month for a relationship-specific reason but that snow-struck month is part of why it feels universal. Going back to December means going back to the cold time when the roses are dead.

Also, this song is reportedly about her breakup from Taylor Lautner. Her brain must've been buried under a foot of snow to lose that grade-A beef. Silly Tay-Tay.
