Two women find their soul mates in each other. Where they live accepts them - but not all.
The song "All I Want for Christmas is You" was sung by Mariah Carey- Challenge.


We were young and new to the married life,
When we first met, I was your soulmate, and you were mine.
Some people would not accept I was your wife,
Or understand when I claimed you as mine, as our souls intertwine.          


Time passed, as did judgment regarding who we were to have a love so true,
We began receiving threats and warnings about our lives and our unnatural love.
It didn't matter what church we belonged to or every weekend we sat in the same pew,
People saw what they feared most: two females living a life as pure as snow-white doves.


One day, it happened: you were snatched from my life by an angry soul,
Our church was filled with people who knew us as one, standing without an empty pew.
Now my days are bleak and slow with every day I see my black hole,
All year round, without you here, I pray to the One Above; all I want for Christmas is you.
