    <?php query_posts('category_name=calendar&showposts=5'); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
        <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
          <?php the_title(); ?>

  • have you tried to work with the time parameters of query_posts() ?

    for the current month maybe something like (untested):

    <?php $today = getdate();
query_posts('category_name=calendar&posts_per_page=5&year=' . $today["year"] ' . monthnum=' . $today["mon"] ); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
        <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
          <?php the_title(); ?>
          </a>  </li>
        <?php endwhile; ?>

    for last month maybe (untested):

    <?php $today = getdate();
$year = $today["year"];
$last_month = $today["mon"] - 1;
if( $last_month == 0 ) {
$last_month = 12;
$year = $year - 1;
}
query_posts('category_name=calendar&posts_per_page=5&year=' . $year . 'monthnum=' . $last_month ); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
        <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
          <?php the_title(); ?>
          </a>  </li>
        <?php endwhile; ?>
