"Taylor Swift has said that the holiday season is her favorite time of year. The &amp;#039;We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together&amp;#039; singer revealed to Parade that she often gets carried away with festive glee.   &amp;quot;I really love the holiday season because I grew up on a Christmas tree farm, and it just reminds me of home and the coziness of it all,&amp;quot; Swift explained. She went on to say: &amp;quot;I love when it gets cold and you start wearing sweaters and coats and scarves, and you start baking things with cinnamon and nutmeg in them. To me those are the smells of Christmas.&amp;quot; Swift also revealed that her signature specialty in the kitchen is actually homemade jam. &amp;quot;I make raspberry jam. When I was younger we had a grape arbor, and my mom would go out and pick grapes and make grape jam in the sink - boil it, put it in jars, and give it away as gifts,&amp;quot; the country music star commented.  &amp;quot;So I started making raspberry jam, and it is so good. You can put it on anything; you can dip pretzels into it. I don&amp;#039;t mean to brag, but it&amp;#039;s so good you could just eat it with a spoon.&amp;quot;  Swift recently admitted that she often falls in love too quickly, especially when she meets a &amp;quot;bad boy&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;I think every girl&amp;#039;s dream is to find a bad boy at the right time, when he wants to not be bad anymore,&amp;quot; she explained.
