Why?

Coal is the ticket to enter the Epic Holiday Giveaway. It's called Epic because the top prize is every game on Steam. The more coal you have, the better your chance of winning. Players may alternatively choose to magically mix their coal into something shiny and new by 'crafting' seven pieces into a gift from the Great Gift Pile. So this year receiving coal is a good thing."
