Unclear if you want to schedule your report or filter your data using those dates.

 

The following cron schedule/expression will schedule your report to run every hour between those dates:

 

 

0 * 1-5,26-31 * *

 

 

If you're looking to filter the data in your search to only include those date: 

 

| eval dayofmonth=strftime(_time, "%e")
| search dayofmonth>25 OR dayofmonth<6

Hi

0 * * * *

this will run alert on every hour on every day including those years which have something else than 365 days.

You could test these on  https://crontab.guru/#0_*_*_*_*
