A Christmas for Shacktown by Carl Barks

It’s the holiday season in Duckburg and money is in short supply: Donald only has five dollars to scrape together for Christmas presents but nobody has it worse than the kids of Shacktown, the place where people in Duckburg live who are down on their luck. In a burst of Christmas Spirit, the ducks decide to throw a Christmas party for Shacktown with turkeys and a toy train. But to raise the money for the party, they’ll need twenty five dollars from Uncle Scrooge and it’ll take a miracle to get him to part with it. In this story Carl Barks channels Charles Dickens and creates “A Christmas for Shacktown”, one of the best comics in his bibliography.
