I USED to stitch a lot for both holidays and have a fairly extensive collection of ornaments for both. But, now, I am stitching more SALs than either ornaments or big projects. If there are holiday themes in the SALs I am registered for, then I stitch them. I you look back at last month's check-in at the projects I have "acquired" for the coming year(s), you can see that most of them include houses or buildings of some sort and none are holiday-oriented.

I still haven't stitched at all on Elizabeth Almond's "Save the Stitches" ; it's been "dormant" since November, 2020.
I made some progress on the Glendon Place sampler "Hope & Strength"
~~~~~SALs~~~~~
1. The Faithwurks/Just Cross Stitch Christmas Quaker, which now has five parts complete (less beads and charms) and most of part 6: the upper garland, where I fudged around a misplaced ornament since I didn't feel like frogging at this late date, and the alphabet and numbers in the lower border. There are seven small motifs in the lower border and then buttons and charms to add and it will be finished by the next check-in!
2. The Stitchonomy "Halloween 2021" SAL, which started in mid-September, is now complete. Stitched on the supplied oatmeal AIDA (14 ct) and DMC threads:

My stitching mojo remains a little low. No new starts yet planned for November - I hope to clear the decks of "Hope & Strength" and maybe even put a few stitches in Elizabeth Almond's "Save the Stitches". There is a Christmas SAL from Stitchonomy starting in December to look forward to...
See you next month!
