Every four years one extra day is added to the calendar in February. The shortest month of the year becomes one day longer with February 29 becoming leap year. Why do we do this? There are a few reasons stemming from long ago, including trying to make sure that the calendar stays in line with the earth's rotation around the sun and the seasons. 

Some countries consider Leap Years to be lucky while others believe the opposite. There are strange superstitions that surround this day as well, like women being encouraged to propose to their love.

Those born on Leap Day only have their true birthday every four years, so are they really much younger than everyone else? 

What do you think about Leap Day? Just another day on the calendar or something more?
