Simlar things can happen inside cameras - IF the camera gets "cold enough"
and then is brought into a warm environment.

Warm the camera up for several hours - give any moisture trapped inside the camera
time to evaporate - then try it again.

IF you have to send the camera out for repairs -
the chances of getting it back in time for Christmas is pretty slim.

Good Luck!

Oh yeah that is VERY possible, it happened to me before. Mine didn't freeze and shut off but the pictures all came out very blurry from the condensation.
