Leap year, where an additional day is added to the calendar to synchronize with the Earth’s revolutions around the sun, we’re searching for those in Houston who hold a special place in time – those who only get to truly celebrate their birthdays once every four years.

Why do we have a Leap Year?

Leap years occur every four years to keep our calendar in alignment with the Earth’s revolutions around the sun. This phenomenon results in an extra day in February, making Feb. 29 a unique date that occurs only once every four years. Individuals born on this day, often referred to as “leap day babies” or “leaplings,” experience a rather extraordinary birthday occurrence.
