There are a number of ways you could do this, depending on exactly what you want to happen.
You could set up some kind of polling mechanism that checks the date every x minutes. This eats up more resources but will be more responsive to things like the user changing the date.
Or you could use a Thread or a Timer and wait a month between loops.
Or you could set up a function that returns a different value depending on what month it is.
Like I said, which way you go really depends on exactly how you want your program to work.
