We’re proud to keep families connected 365 days a year, but this year we’re aiming for 366! Ultra-fun fact: it takes Earth 365.25 days to orbit the sun. To account for that partial day, 1 full day is added to the calendar every 4 years – a leap year! This astronomical anomaly is recognized worldwide with traditions just as quirky as the science behind it. To tie the knot, or not? Our European neighbors have unique takes on how to propose during a leap year. The Greeks say that a leap-year engagement is doomed, yet the Danish deem it very lucky. And if you’re a woman in Scotland, you’re expected to get down on one knee! Of course it’s always your choice on when-and-where to pop-the-question, but know that a refusal in Finland needs to be met with gifts of fabric (to soften the blow of rejection, they say).
Mark your quadrennial calendar In the small town of Anthony, NM, “Leapers” (people born on Feb. 29) from around the world are invited to the Sombra Antigua Winery for a night of free food and drink to celebrate their shared birthday. Across the Atlantic Ocean, French printers are preparing this year’s La Bougie du Sapeur (Sapper’s Candle). The least published newpaper on Earth, its satirical columns sell about 150,000 copies – with a new edition released only every 4 years!
Off-menu leap year specials 4 years can go by quickly, and we can take family time for granted. That’s why Tai households will prepare pig trotter noodles, a hearty dish said to promote longevity, for their aging family members on the 29th. If you’re looking to raise a toast to good health, try making the Leap Day Cocktail for your loved ones. Born in London’s roaring 1920’s pubs, this sweet vermouth, gin and lemon juice beverage makes for an Ultra-tangy sip.
