2020 is a leap year, which means we’ll have a 29th of February, also called Leap Day. Those born on February 29 will be able to celebrate their birthdays for the first time in four years, but this year they’re in for another treat: for the first time since 1992, Leap Day will fall on a Saturday.
We are interested in hearing from people who have made special plans to mark Leap Day in an unusual way - are you getting married? Getting a tattoo? Going star-gazing? Attempting a silly record?
We would also like to hear from anyone who has had a special February 29 in years gone by - did your spouse forget your anniversary, or did they surprise you in a special way? Did you throw a bombastic birthday extravaganza for your Leap Day child? And what do people do if they were born on Feb 29? Celebrate another day, or pretend they are four times younger than they actually are, like Rapper Ja Rule did on his 40th birthday in 2016? Tell us.
