Carl Barks Library of Walt Disney's Donald Duck Adventures in Color #11

In "Letter to Santa," Donald Duck races against the clock on Christmas Eve to fulfill the nephews’ urgent wish for a steamshovel after realizing he forgot to mail their letter to Santa. When Uncle Scrooge learns Santa—not he—will be credited for the gift, he buys his own steamshovel to outdo the holiday spirit, leading to a chaotic showdown between the two in their machines. With the nephews’ joy on the line, Donald must find a clever way to deliver the news—disguising himself as Santa to keep the magic alive.

In "You Can't Guess," Donald Duck sets a playful challenge for his nephews: if they can guess what he wants for Christmas, he’ll buy them the building set they’ve been dreaming of. As the boys brainstorm, their extended family and friends—each convinced Donald needs a new car—jump in with their own gifts, turning the holiday season into a whirlwind of surprises. When the nephews finally crack the riddle, the truth behind Donald’s wish reveals a moment of heartfelt connection.
