"The Christmas Trespassers" by Andrew J. Fenady is a pretty good western that takes place mostly just before Christmas. Three young orphans have escaped their orphanage and are looking for a better place to live. Shad Parker and his homestead is most certainly not that better place until trouble arrives on Christmas Eve. From the first word on the page, I could see the ending all laid out several miles away. Also, the novel didn't really feel like Christmas even though we are occasionally told that the townsfolk are preparing for the season. A workman-like effort but lacking in the spark that could have brought a decent story to life.
