Someone from Norway bought it just after my message. I wonder who that was...
The contents are probably translations from American comic books.
Because except for the UK and to a lesser extent the Netherlands no country produced its own Peter Pan strips.
It might even be a translation of a German Disney publication that has not been registered either.
Nevertheless this is the very last time I share information ..
Here are the links to the mysteriously disappeared second volume as well as those to the earlier 80s publications.

Uhm, that second volume probably is actually the second volume of the New Comic series (so New Comics 237), the layout and the fonts are the same and if you look at the inducks entry you see it includes the three little pigs story, which is depicted in that cover. For some reasons Inducks used the cover of volume 1 for volume 2 too and every other sites are doing the same mistake (the third auction you linked, for example, is selling the second volume... but the photo is the same of the second auction, which is selling the first volume).
So you've lost nothing :)
Actually Disney Libri DID publish a second book titled "Storie di Natale" http://www.amazon.it/Storie-Natale-aa-vv/dp/8852202927/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1409684194&sr=8-1&keywords=Storie+di+Natale+Disney%2C+Walt
but it didn't feature any comics, just artwork drawn in the style of the animated films and text
Sorry to hear you had a bad day. Hope you're fine now.

My apologies for lashing out at you. I have health issues and other problems.
You are probably right in your assumption that the book in question might very well be the second volume of New Comics.
I fell into the trap I am always warning about: relying too much on my sources. One can not be too careful..
Actually I am glad I do not have to buy the New Comics.
For I approached the seller of the two links who refused to send the books by registered mail/insured.
A nono in this case. So I bought the more recent book from a friendly lady who arranged for insurance.
It is a magnificent book, really outstanding.
As for the German publications. They are called "Fröhliche Weihnachten".
There are at least two around. Whether one reprints the other with a different cover I do not know.
I will be sending two links.
Because there is mention of a Peter Pan story.
I suspect these are reprints from American comic books... By way of Italy?!?

Just finishing reading the "Peter Pan and Hook the Crook"stories in the UK "Mickey Mouse" of 1958 and these are quite nice.
The whole "Mickey Mouse"s of 1958 are wonderful as I read everything except the non-Disney features and "Johnny Tremaine" whom I dislike.
Even found a terribly obscure Disney character in it, called "Beaknose" from the Moon(!).
The magazine might not have been as great as its predecessor, the "Mickey Mouse Weekly" but it was still fun to read!
In the Peter Pan stories there is even a rival pirate in Neverland, called Blackbrow.
This reminds me of the better known American comic book "Captain Hook and Peter Pan".
http://neverpedia.com/pan/Walt_Disney%27s_Captain_Hook_and_Peter_Pan
In this particular romp Hook also has a rival, a funny latino pirate..
But one has to ask how these pirates have crossed over from the Spanish Main to the sea around Neverland..
Because in the Peter Pan Christmas stories Neverland is not on earth but really out of this world...
