One of the greatest and funniest Christmas stories!  From 1951 by Carl Barks, one of Walt Disney's original "Duck men."

The story appeared in December 1951, although the issue was dated January 1952: Dell Comic Books were dated the month ahead.

Thank you for that! Nice piece of nostalgia from an era when comic books were great!
