The Leap Year Extra-Day To-Do List You Didn’t Know You Needed
Hey, cutie. Just wanted to let you know that this story originally ran in our February issue, so if you like what you see, you should probably snag a hard copy ASAP. Bye!
Okay, so Leap Day isn’t actually a national holiday, but it should be! It’s really just a thing the inventors of the Gregorian calendar—the calendar basically all humans use—did to make up for the fact that Earth does not take exactly 365 days to circle the sun (it’s, like, 364.242, per the Britannica encyclopedia). So every fourth year, we are blessed with a February 29.
Friends, I’m thrilled to share that Leap Year 2020 happens to be a Saturday. Praise be.
If Leap Day is also your b-day, you probably have plans to celebrate your fourth, fifth, or sixth official birthday. Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! But for those in need of things to accomplish during the extra 24 hours you get this year, you’re in for a damn treat.
Please behold this comprehensive, thoroughly researched list of certified EXTRA things you should do on your extra day (get it?).
