Date Driven Data Display

My client has an annual calendar of events consisting of a record for each event, key field is the event date saved as a date type field. They would like the display to start with the current month, list to the end of the year then start the beginning of the year and list up to the current month.How does one retrieve data based on date? I guess I'd like something like :

SELECT * FROM EVENTS WHERE [month is greater than or equal to the current
month] ORDER BY Date

Then :

SELECT * FROM EVENTS WHERE [month is less than the current month] ORDER BY
Date

What is the syntax for the month bits between the []?
