Apple has sent an email to developers letting them know that iTunes Connect will be shut down for the holidays.
iTunes Connect will be temporarily shut down from Friday, December 21, 2012 to Friday, December 28, 2012, for the winter holidays. During this shutdown, the following functionality will be unavailable: ● Access to iTunes Connect ● Delivery of any apps or updates
Additionally, the following will be delayed: ● Releases scheduled to appear on the App Store for the first time ● Pricing changes scheduled through the interval pricing system in iTunes Connect
We strongly recommend that you do not schedule any pricing changes in iTunes Connect that would take effect between Friday, December 21, 2012 and Friday, December 28, 2012. Pricing changes scheduled to take effect during this date range will not be reflected on the App Store and your app or In-App Purchase will become unavailable for purchase until after the shutdown.

They're not shutting down iTunes just the app related part of it. ITunes connect. Apple employees need a holiday as well I guess. iTunes 11 will be out before then.
