require 'date'

date_times1 = (1..12).map do |month|
  DateTime.new(2012,month,25,4,5,6)
end

date_times2 = (1..6).map do |month|
  DateTime.new(2012,month,25,4,5,6)
end

date_times = date_times1 + date_times2

results = Hash.new {|hash, key| hash[key] = []}

date_times.each do |dt|
  results[dt.month] << dt
end

(1..12).each do |month|
  puts "month %s:" % month

  results[month].each do |event|
    puts "\t%s" % event
  end
end
