As you may or may not know this year is a LEAP YEAR which occurs every 4 years..If you want to know why then read on..Our planet earth takes 365.25 days to go around the Sun so after 4 years we are short of one day and this has to be made up by adding an extra day to one month, The month chosen must have an even number of days and from those that qualify February is the one we use giving it 29 days.The reason for February is that the Romans had it as there month of remembering the dead and no one saw any reason to change it! If your birthday is the 29th then you may use the 28th or the 1st of March to celebrate it but all legal papers must have the 29th on them..
