We don’t work from the 1st of January to the 8th of January
Мы не работаем с первого по восьмое января

When I said we don’t work I meant most of the companies for example

Restaurants, bars, stores, shopping malls, museums and other companies are open.
Because holidays are big time for them to make money.
