As for Santa's Workshop, even with instructions and three years of playing, I have yet to totally figure it out, so pretty much will be skipping it this year except for the occasional spin
The thing goes like this: see those boxes on the right side? You are on a top floor (all boxes lit!). The timer shows time to drop from the highest box to the next one. When the time runs out, the upper box becomes grey and next timer shows up (time to go down to the next box). Seams that your first timer just got stuck as you had the event open when it ran out. Just reload the event and you should see the next timer start and the upper box grey.
So you go down box by box. And only when you drop down to the bottom, you can spin the wheel again. More time is needed to pass the lower boxes than the higher ones. And if I remember correctly it takes exactly 24h from the top to the bottom. So one decoration per day (or a bit more if you go for the lower valued decos). You would need to wait till tomorrow to be able to spin the wheel again.
As you can see mine - it got to box 7 and will need approx. one hour to get to the box 6.
No timer
(They don't seem to have any OTHER use.. It's not like contracts ask for 'em.
The Wheel is going to take a short break on the 17th, then return and stay until Jan 1st. It's in Wabbit's calendar thread.

It says five days
If you click on the number "7", for instance, and there's time left on the timer, you can pay the amount of gold on the right side and immediately spin the wheel for a level 7 decoration.
If you click on the number "2", you can pay the amount of gold on the right side and immediately spin the wheel for a level 2 decoration (or start donating again to work your way up the tree again).
If the timer is expired for "9", then you won't be able to pay gold to spin again for a Level 9 decoration - you'll either have to wait the full 24 hours, or pay gold for a LESSER quality (8, 7, 6, 5, etc.) deco and then donate your way back up to level 9 again.
(The blue "pay Gold" button should be greyed out if the timer is expired, but that doesn't seem to be happening on HTML.. Haven't checked on Flash).
TL;DR, it's not broken, it's working exactly like it's supposed to. (Well, except for the button not getting greyed out).
Thanks - as you can tell I've still not got my head round this totally yet.
The amount of gold goes down with time, and you can unlock the wheel again at Level "2" usually for under 1,000 gold - even right after spinning, but then you've got to donate from Level 2 all the way up to Level 9 again (512,000+ candles).
Or you can wait the full 24 hours and it will unlock at Level "2" for free.
If you want a higher level deco, you can donate items for "Candles", which allow you to spin for higher level Decorations.
For instance, you would have to donate 13,564 "Candles" in order to spin for a Quality 6 Decoration. Value of items (in Candles) varies, such as like a Gold Mining Certificate is worth 200 candles, a Lobster is worth 19 candles, a Special Wheat Seed is worth 21 candles, etc., etc. Just about everything in game has a candle value.
CrazyBigFarm has a list of some of the values, but it's not complete. (I think it's just missing the Deep Sea Fishing stuff - fish & equipment).
But if you don't donate anything, you can still spin for a Quality 2 decoration once a day, for free.
