The deadline is usually Dec. 21 -- all stories need to be uploaded by then (though you can do it earlier, if you're one of those horrid over-achievers!) and then there's a bunch of scurrying behind the scenes and then the site goes live on Dec. 25. All the stories have recipient names, but no author names. People gorge themselves on reading and lots of rec posts get named. Then, on Jan. 1, the author names are revealed.
And then people start writing New Years' Resolution stories (basically, if it's on the list and you want to write it, go for it).
