LEAP DAY is every four years .... almost. It's every four years except years ending with "00" that are not divisible by 400. The year in which Leap Day occurs, is called a Leap Year.
Why the fancy calculation you may ask? Well, the earth rotates around the sun once every 365 and about 1/4 days. So, by adding an extra day every four years, we get mighty close to keeping the calendar consistent with the earth's annual trip around the sun. And to be very precise, the earth orbits the sun every 365.242190 days. So, on years ending in "00", (except those not divisible by 400) we skip Leap Year and Leap Day.
Now that we have all that fancy calculating out of the way, let's just celebrate the day!!
If you are lucky enough to have a birthday on Leap Day ..... CONGRATULATIONS......you finally get to celebrate your birthday on your birth date. How many people do you think are celebrating a Leap Day Birthday???? Only about one in 1461 people, so if you are one of the lucky ones then consider yourself very, very special!!!
