Calendar events, more than one at a time?

[stickersmc]

I searched and searched for the answer to this basic question, so bare with me.

On my "today" screen, it shows the next calendar event in my calendar, but I want it to show the next "several" events. Is there a way to do this?

I have 4 birthdays I wanted to to things for this week, but didn't know they were coming up because my phone only showed the "next" one in line. Is there a way for it to show all the events for like... the next week? Or, the next 3 or 4 events?

"I have a birthday to do something for tomorrow and I didn't know about it until today... when all the stores are JAM PACKED with Christmas shoppers!" Now I'm S.O.L.!

I know you'll say, "set an alarm or a reminder" a week prior to the birthday, but I'll forget about it in the next couple of days because I have WAY too much on my plate! I need something that STAYS on my "today" screen until that day comes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated so I'm not in the dog-house again!!!
