A Christmas story for Beau

Here is how a story called "Beau and the Pinging Duck" might begin:

Beau’s houseboat drifted peacefully on the calm winter river, its windows aglow against the deepening twilight. The world was hushed, the only sound the soft lapping of water against the hull. Beau, polishing his collection of smooth river stones, was enjoying the quiet. Suddenly, a series of urgent, insistent ‘pings’ began, not from inside the boat, but from somewhere directly beneath it. It sounded like tiny pieces of ice hitting metal. Peering out, he saw a small, brightly painted wooden duck, its wind-up key missing, frantically paddling in circles just below his window, its painted eyes wide with panic.

What happens next? Beau discovers the distressed wooden duck is a magical messenger, and its frantic 'pings' signal a looming Christmas crisis.
