	A Christmas for Shacktown - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Christmas for Shacktown is a Donald Duck comic strip story written by Carl Barks in January, 1952.
		The Duck family goes on a fund-raiser for a Christmas party for the ghetto.
		This is often considered the most memorable of Barks' Christmas stories, as the scenes in Shacktown are often described as depressing and even haunting in contrast with the other areas of Duckburg.

		This is not on a par with Barks's greatest Christmas story, "A Christmas for Shacktown" (where I may end up moving if the job search proves no more successful in 2004), which is genuinely moving.
		Barks solves the problem by redefining the parent's Christmas duty: Donald has screwed up by forgetting to mail his nephews' letter to Santa.

		Before the realization of his famous Money Bin, Scrooge McDuck kept his money in this building in Duckburg Downtown.
		As for Barks reference this is the building of which the floor caved in in the story A Christmas for Shacktown
		Don Rosa in his Uncle Scrooge live and times chose for a more linear and easier story narration to ignore this building having Scrooge built the Money Bin on killmotor Hill right after his arrival in 1902.
