This year, like previous years, steam is having a sale on its games, and this year its HUGE!!
There is discounts of up to 75% on individual games. Each game publisher and developer have their own group sales which gives discounts on most of the games available by the developer on steam. As well as buying single games, you can also buy game bundles to gain an even bigger saving, a massive 91% off some bundles and varies other bundles containing at least 10 games each at around 70-80% off. Now that is massive savings.
As well as there being deals on, there is also a Christmas competition which I will come to later.
First lets look at some of the discounts available by different developers. With each developer group, there is either discount on every game in the group or most of the games (available through till Jan 1st 2012) :

Now onto the competitions.
Steam is giving away free games to people who play other games. These free games are earned by completing a series of in-game objectives which are announced everyday until January 1. However you must have these games to be able to complete the objectives, I'm un-sure if most of these games are free or you have to pay for them.
You will either be given a free gift from the gift pile, or a lump of coal for competing the challenges, leaving you with 3 options.
Option 1: Great Gift Pile
Get a free gift from the Great Gift Pile. Which can include full games and coupons. Doing this will allow you to quickly get free games and coupons, but it will make you miss out on the main competition which is option 3.
Option 2: Gain 7 Lumps Of Coal
After you have complete an objective you may gain your reward in the state of a lump of coal. After you have collected 7 lumps you can trade them in for an actual gift (gifts unknown to me at this stage).
Option 3: Keep all of your coal
Instead of trading in 7 lumps for a gift. You can save up all your lumps of coal and be entered into the Steam sweepstakes. Each lump is an entry into the massive Jan 2nd 2012 giveaway.
The first winner of the competition will win every single game on steam, thats right, EVERY SINGLE GAME. Imagine winning that amount of games, you would never find time to play them all, but it would still be an amazing thing to have.
As for runners up the prizes are still very generous, and if you have a decent wishlist, you will get what you want
And if you still aren't in the top 151 winners, the next 1000 people will win the Valve complete pack.
Now this is an amazing time to be a Steam member, if you're looking for some very nice savings on individual games and bundles or you are looking to win the big competition or many of the other prizes and gifts, either way you will no doubt of fun doing it.
I personally don't use steam, but i Know a lot of members on here do.
How many of you will most likely buy some of the games available, and who will start collecting coal ready for Jan 2nd 2012 :y:
Thank you for reading.
