Yep, you got is right. It would be something like:

public class DateIntervalAttribute : JobFilterAttribute, IClientFilter, IServerFilter
{
    private readonly DateTime? _notBefore, _notAfter;

    public DateIntervalAttribute(string notBefore = null, string notAfter = null)
    {
        _notBefore = string.IsNullOrEmpty(notBefore) ? (DateTime?)null : DateTime.Parse(notBefore, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
        _notAfter = string.IsNullOrEmpty(notAfter) ? (DateTime?)null : DateTime.Parse(notAfter, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
    }

    public void OnCreating(CreatingContext filterContext)
    {
        if (_notBefore.HasValue && _notBefore.Value > DateTime.Now)
        {
            filterContext.Canceled = true;
        }
        else if (_notAfter.HasValue && _notAfter.Value < DateTime.Now)
        {
            filterContext.Canceled = true;
            
            // delete recurring job definition after expiration
            if (filterContext.Parameters.HasKey("RecurringJobId"))
            {
                string recurringJobId = (string) filterContext.Parameters["RecurringJobId"];
                RecurringJob.RemoveIfExists(recurringJobId);
            }
        }
    }

    public void OnCreated(CreatedContext filterContext)
    {
    }

    public void OnPerforming(PerformingContext filterContext)
    {
        if (_notBefore.HasValue && _notBefore.Value > DateTime.Now)
        {
            filterContext.Canceled = true;
        }
        else if (_notAfter.HasValue && _notAfter.Value < DateTime.Now)
        {
            filterContext.Canceled = true;
        }
    }

    public void OnPerformed(PerformedContext filterContext)
    {
    }
}

Then just apply this attribute to your job method:

[DateInterval("2016-12-01", "2016-12-25")]
public void JobMethod()
{
   // do work
}
