Oh! LOL! Now that would be something else!
If that's what you meant, well no. We don't do that in the states. But there are a lot of other people here on the FV who are not from the states, it may be part of their leap year traditions.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don't think we have any leap year customs here. Personally I think February is already too long with 28 days! I think it should be a holiday

Ah yes, Sadie Hawkins day.
[ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadie_Hawkins_Day"]Sadie Hawkins Day - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]
and,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_year#Folk_traditions“When you get to the end of all the light you know
and it's time to step into the darkness of the unknown,
faith is knowing that one of two things will happen:
you will be given something solid to stand on,
or you will be taught how to fly.” - Edward Teller
“Our Earth is degenerate in these later days;
there are signs that the world is speedily
coming to an end;
bribery and corruption are common; children no
longer obey their parents;
every man wants to write a book and the
end of the world is evidently approaching.”
— From a translation of an inscription on
an Assyrian clay tablet, circa 2800 B.C.E.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
