0:00.0	It was three days before Christmas and all around the town of Oakley in Utah, families prepared for the upcoming festivities. The surrounding mountains were draped in a blanket of snow and puffs of smoke rose from the log cabins dotted amongst the valley.
0:16.3	This might sound like the beginning of a typical Christmas story, but instead of glistening snowflakes
0:21.8	in Yule-tide cheer, what follows is a tale of Christmas horror.

2:00.0	There were no fights or accusations of favoritism.
2:03.6	They genuinely enjoyed each other's company and always seemed to be calmer when the other was in sight.
