Does your
birthday, or anyone you know's birthday fall on the 29th of February? If so,
what day do you or they, celebrate a birthday on when it's not a leap year?
I have had this discussion with
two people in as many days and they both say, if it was them, they'd choose to
celebrate on the 28th of February. I find this mind boggling. If you're born on
the 29th of February, it's the day after the 28th
right? I understand the argument about being born in February and therefore
wanting to celebrate in February, but if it hadn't have been a leap year on the
date in question, they would have been born on the 1st of March. It's a fact.
Mind you; that then begs the question, should people born on the 1st of March
celebrate their birthdays on the 29th of February when it's a leap year? After
all, it is the day after the 28th of
February, which is when they were actually born. Interesting, but it would open
up a whole can of worms which I tend to like to steer clear of; so, back to my
original question. Which day would you choose to celebrate on, if your birthday
fell on the 29th of February? I'm sticking with the 1st of March; it's the only
logical answer. J
I was born on 29th Feb and when I was a kid by brothers used to tease me that I have no Birthday when it was nit a leap year.Now that I'm grown up this has become something trivial when to celebrate but for me it is always the end of February. 1st March does not sound good to me :)
