Leap Year Day Headquarters

We hope you had a great Leap Year in 2012.  The next Leap Day is February 29th, 2016, and we have plenty of interesting stuff here about Leap Day, to hold your interest until then.  For those born on Leap Day, please consider joining the Honor Society of Leap Year Day Babies.  Membership is free, and just a click away.

You can scroll through the Knowledge Base carousel above to navigate through the site. We're pretty sure we have the internet's biggest collection of Leap Day facts and trivia.

The Honor Society of Leap Year Day Babies tries to keep on top of all Leap Day related news. If you are aware of news that should be on this page, please contact us and let us know. These are stories we followed during Leap Year 2012.

February 2012

Mostly it's a pleasure to be born on Leap Day, but we have collected stories here of some of the annoyances that can start the moment somebody is born. Some parents are asked to consider falsifying the birth record, and some parents are given no choice but to falsify the record!  Sometimes children are teased about their birthday, and when they are old enough to drive, there could be a problem with driver registration. There are birthdate related computer issues, and Leap Day related computer bugs.  Still -- we would choose no other day to be born.

The last Leap Year Day was on February 29th, 2012, though long past, all the great events that occured are not long forgotten.  We try to include everybody's events on our events list, and as a memorial to a Leap Day past, we're keeping this page up as a reminder of fun had by all.  You'll find both birthday party events, and events that celebrate the extra day.

We've compiled a list of books that are either entirely Leap themed, or have somehow incorporated Leap Day into the story.  Some of these books you can buy at amazon.com, so consider buying from the amazon carousel below, or ask your local book store or do a search online. If you can, get an extra copy to give to a school or library. They really need these books!
