Each holiday season ushers in its own particular sentiment or experience of the joyousness of that specific juncture in time. Having just concluded the holiday of Sukkos, we recall numerous recitations of “the season of our joy” spanning eight celebratory days, including Shemini Atzeres (plus another day of Simchas Torah outside of Israel). So it would seem more appropriate to address the joy that we experienced over the holiday and reserve the topic of freedom for a later date, perhaps nearer to Pesach, which deals with the Exodus of the Jews from Egyptian bondage.
