Christmas Preparations in Duckburg

US is persuaded to make a city donation but he doesn't want to spend money on it. Instead he decides to have DD and HDL cut down Christmas trees on a hill and give each Duckburg citizen one as a gift -- trees that are supposed to be removed anyway. It turns out to be an almost impossible job for the ducks.
