Poll: About Remaining OC XMas Slots

Normally, today would've been the last day before I close up slots for 2023's 31 Days of OC Christmas, but we still have some left open. If for whatever reason you haven't been aware of this and want to join in, please follow this link for instructions. Throughout the application period, it has been brought to my attention that most people who would've liked to join in haven't been able to thanks to tight holiday budgets and short notice. In response to this, I'm considering extending the submissions window into December. Now, I have no idea for how long I'll be able to feasibly do so --probably for only the first week, maybe 10 days-- but this still is an option for me to accommodate.
Otherwise, I'll figure something else out for the remaining slots. If all else fails, I'll just handle it like previous years and just from a list of OCs I have in my back pocket.
What do you guys think? Feel free to fire off any other solutions in the comments.
