A Christmas for Shacktown is a Donald Duck/Uncle Scrooge story written and drawn by Carl Barks and first published in the comic book Donald Duck, #367 in January, 1952. The story line revolves around the Duck family attempting to raise money to throw a Christmas party for the poor children of the slums of Duckburg. A key plot element involves Uncle Scrooge losing his fortune stored in his money bin when the floor of the bin collapses and the contents fall into a seemingly bottomless pit. The story is generally considered to be one of Bark's best works during the period when he was at the top of his craft.
