Steam's Holiday Sale discounts everything ever, gives gifts, games and coal

Well, we're all screwed. The annual Steam holiday deals have gone live, discounting ... let's just say "all the games" to be efficient, okay?
All the games are discounted, as are
a bunch of humongous packs which similarly include all the games, and, if that weren't enough, Steam is
giving away free games to folks who play other games. Congratulations! We all get more games than any of us could ever hope to play in our lifetimes.
Those free games are earned by
completing a series of in-game objectives which cycle everyday until January 1. Completing them either gets you a freebie off the "Great Gift Pile" or a lump of coal, seven of which can also be traded in for an actual gift. Alternatively, you could save your lumps up -- each counts as an entry into a Steam sweepstakes, the grand prize for which is
every game on Steam ever. Seriously, that's not hyperbole. The prize is
every game.
