February 29th

Here's wishing you all
a fine, fun-filled leap year day;
it's a rarity

To most, it's meh day,
to a few, it's a big deal.
Have fun nonetheless!

when you said meh day, do you mean it's YOUR day. I think it would be great to have this kind of birthday!! And then you could choose either March 1 or Feb 28 to celebrate on the years Feb. 29 did not come up. I like this one, Edward. Our 29th in Utah was VERY spring-like!!!

Thank you, WW:-) I can't blame your aunt, LOL. I can't even imagine what people born on a leap year feel...celebrating their birthdays every 4 years. Ouch!

Happy leap year day to you too... my company had many buses shuttling weddings, we had a record number on this day, i guess a lot of people wanted to be unique...i once dated a guy born on this day, it's cool in a way i guess but then you get cheated out of your day the next three years... :) hugs
