Making a Calendar for TUG
Well, this is not exactly what you want, but I was thinking about asking for calendars a few weeks ago in order to make it a Community Wiki, but finally I didn't. However, I post here my solution (which is far far away from being optimal, I encourage all of you to make it better —but, of course, without changing the appearance–). I repeat, may be it's not what you want.
The file is this:
\documentclass[border=4.9mm, multi={tikzpicture}]{standalone}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
% MCAL -------------------------------
\usepackage{mcal}
% MCAL -------------------------------
\begin{document}\estilodetexto% To set up \sffamily, \bfseries…
\thisyear{2013}% The year the calendar is about.
\colordelosfestivos{red}% The color of holidays.
\remaincolor{white}% The color under the top rectangle (where the title and the previous and next calendar are)
\resubcolor{white}% The color under the names of the week
\mooncounter=2% To set the first moon of the year (0,1,2,3)
\enero[7,14,21,28]{7}% The months …
\febrero[7,14,21,28]{1,2,3,7,9,25}
\marzo[7,14,21,28]{1,2,3,7,9,25}
\abril[7,14,21,28]{1,2,3,7,9,25}
\mayo[7,14,21,28]{1,2,3,7,9,25}
\junio[7,14,21,28]{1,2,3,7,9,25}
\julio[7,14,21,28]{1,2,3,7,9,25}
\agosto[7,14,21,28]{1,2,3,7,9,25}
\septiembre[7,14,21,28]{1,2,3,7,9,25}
\octubre[7,14,21,28]{1,2,3,7,9,25}
\noviembre[7,14,21,28]{1,2,3,7,9,25}
\diciembre[4,12,19,27]{6,8,25,31}
\end{document}
It uses a custom mcal.sty which I include later. The usage is easy, each month (now it's in spanish, but you get an idea) takes a mandatory argument, the days of the month which are holidays, separated by commas, and a optional argument, the days of the month with the moon phase.
You can see how it fully looks here.
Apart from that, the mcal.sty has this content:

As you can see, it is very basic and uses tikz's calendar library.
EDIT: It's in spanish (+ a bit of english, it was done fast and without thinking so much, you will se a lot of randomness inside :P). I will try to translate it into english in the future.
I wrote one for 2012... but i was lacking material for 2013 since i was writing my thesis in the past months. http://www.disk0s1.de/posts/latex/texianischer-kalender/
I basically used the following macro:
\newcommand{\mymo}[3]{%
\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}%
\centering%
\noindent\Huge\pgfcalendarmonthname{\value{tgmymo}}\normalsize\stepcounter{tgmymo}\\[1cm]%
#3
\end{minipage}\vfill\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}\centering
%
\begin{tikzpicture} \pgfcalendar{cal}{#1}{#2}{%
\ifdate{workday}%
{\tikzset{filling/.style={fill=black!05}}}%
{\tikzset{filling/.style={fill=orange!20}}}
%%
\def\normal{\node (\pgfcalendarsuggestedname) at (\pgfcalendarcurrentweekday*2.5,0) [filling, rectangle,rounded corners, text width=.1\textwidth,text height=.8cm ,align=right] {\\$\pgfcalendarcurrentday$};}%
%%
\ifdate{equals=2013-01-10}{\node (\pgfcalendarsuggestedname) at (\pgfcalendarcurrentweekday*2.5,0) [filling, rectangle,rounded corners, text width=.1\textwidth ,text height=.8cm ,align=right,] {{\small D. E. Knuth}\\$\pgfcalendarcurrentday$};}{\normal}%
\ifdate{equals=2013-02-07}{\node (\pgfcalendarsuggestedname) at (\pgfcalendarcurrentweekday*2.5,0) [filling, rectangle,rounded corners, text width=.1\textwidth ,text height=.8cm ,align=right,] {{\small L. Lamport}\\$\pgfcalendarcurrentday$};}{}%
\ifdate{equals=2013-05-05}{\node (\pgfcalendarsuggestedname) at (\pgfcalendarcurrentweekday*2.5,0) [filling, rectangle,rounded corners, text width=.1\textwidth ,text height=.8cm ,align=right,] {{\small Julia}\\$\pgfcalendarcurrentday$};}{}%
%
\ifdate{equals=2013-08-01}{\node (\pgfcalendarsuggestedname) at (\pgfcalendarcurrentweekday*2.5,0) [filling, rectangle,rounded corners, text width=.1\textwidth ,text height=.8cm ,align=right,] {{\small Tobias}\\$\pgfcalendarcurrentday$};}{}%
%
\ifdate{Sunday}{\pgftransformyshift{-4.2em}}{}%
};
\end{tikzpicture}\end{minipage}\clearpage}
This sets the page with the calender, the content (picture etc.) shall be invoked as argument #3. Like this: \mymo{2013-01-01}{2013-01-last}{\input{jan.tex}}.
It was printed on 100g/m^2 DIN A4 paper with a high res laser printer and shipped to some of my friends.
