Disclaimer: I'm not an EO. I've never been to Ft Leonard Wood. I've never even been on an Army base.
Since no one has given an answer yet, let me share my opinion. It is entirely up to your command if they provide a holiday stand down. Most likely, they will have one though. Just think about it, all of those instructors are going to want to take leave and spend time with their families too.
All of my commands from RTC, to AE A-School (all of the aviation A-Schools in Pensacola had the same holiday routine), to C-School (again all of the C-Schools in Oceana followed the same routine), to my ultimate command. They all provided Holiday Stand Down.
You're still a student. There is no real rush. Most likely they aren't even going to start any new classes if they know that the holidays will interrupt them.
