Body: <p>I created a section on a site that shows a two-month calendar. The calendar has links to entries based on a release date. The release dates are created using a date/time filed. (Dates are different than the entry release date) </p>
  
  <p>I'm very happy with the results so far. I took some ideas from <a href="https://craftcms.stackexchange.com/a/1849/979">this answer</a> and a little <a href="http://turpialcreative.com/notebook/making-a-responsive-calendar-for-dynamic-dates-using-flexbox" rel="nofollow noreferrer">flexbox magic</a>. Everything is working great for the current/next month to show. </p>
  
  <p>What I'm looking for is some ideas on how to display past dates. I want to create an "archive" section of the calendar where people can navigate to a month in the past to see the events that took place in that specific month. </p>
  
  <p>Should I create a category group called "months" and then manually add months as they pass, changing the DateTime object?</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas on the best way to display months in the past would be greatly appreciated.</p>
