Nope. I (and others) have already gotten orders with a "Ship By" date of Jan 9. A mod previously stated that if you were worried about metrics due to Amazon being incapable of handling something so basic and punishing us for their incompetence to put your store on vacation and give up making money for a few days (okay, I'm paraphrasing, but the basic gist was that Amazon would do nothing, other than punish us for late shipments for anything not shipped on Thursday).
Oh, and notice was given over a week in advance; hardly "last second" for any competent tech savvy business.

I got an email last night saying they are taking the steps necessary for the 9th and that handling for 1 day sellers will be pushed down a day.

I am getting orders that need to ship on Jan 9th still. I hate to have to vaca mode but looks like that is going to be the case. I cannot ship most items UPS, too expensive!

Thank you for your questions about this Thursday's Day of Remembrance/Observance and the associated USPS closure. I shared this and related threads with our partner teams and will follow up with any additional information. Please note that other non-USPS shipping services will be available for shipping as usual.
National Day of Mourning is January 9th

They deserve it! After taking 3-4 weeks delivering everything late. Oh and stuff that STILL has not been delivered that was shipped mid-december, they need some time off! Great idea!

Today the mailman showed up at 8 PM. I think it's their new record, I think maybe 5 or so was their previous. It was pitch dark outside. I was 100% sure that that local USPS skipped mail pickup, but nope. I guess they just had extra work, because of yesterday's day-off. :-o

Amazon did not care. Usual response was to use UPS or FedEx at a cost higher than the entire purchase prices of the items that always ship Ground Advantage.. Rather than just do their jobs and change their garbage tech to reflect the day's closing they decided to screw over their sellers.
Just another huge Amazon "we don't care" to their sellers.
Good job Amazon. Keep the whip to our backs!
