 Recently i have thought that if i was born on 29 February. Would it be a good luck or a curse. Think about it; you can celebrate your birthday only once every four years. I want to open this topic because i would like to know your opinions my little ponies. Maybe we can meet a special pony who was born on 29 February ;)

The sister of a friend of mine growing up was a leap year baby. As far as I remember they just celebrated on the 28th or something. She annoyed the hell out of me so I never really cared much.

They can to celebrate 1 march

Thats a good alternative :)

Someone in my family has a birthday on leap year, they just celebrate a day before the 29th when they can.

Yeah but they can celebrate on 1 march as my friend Middleness Collar said :D

Cheating is bad sometimes you know but this situation is a special one. I that would be acceptable ;)

The truth is: a person who is born on February 29th, it's possible for a person to celebrate their birthdays in non-leap years either on February 28th or March 1st, because February 29th is a special (additional) leap day for every four years (years divisible by 4) in order to keep the calendar in-sync and synchronized with the astronomical, seasonal, and tropical year of the Earth's orbit.

My Dad was a day away from a Feb 29th Birthday.  He would of just of moved it a day later if he really was born on the 29th.

I agree and its very logical :)

I guess most of the ponies like-minded on the same idea. Either they can celebrate 1st march or february 28 :)

One of my parent's old friends was born on February 29 yet she celebrates her birthday on the day before.

I think march 1 is more suitable than february 28  ;)

No one in my family except my dad (he's born March 2nd) is born near February 29th, but I don't understand why people celebrate their birthday on the 28th. I mean the 29th is the day after the 28th so wouldn't it make sense to have it on March 1st?

Leap years are a mere fabrication based on a need to make reality conform to human-created standards of measuring time. A person born on 29th Feb doesn't age one quarter slower than anyone else. Although, I guess it makes more sense to celebrate the day after the "non-existant" day than the day before, when it's not a leap year.

a close family friend of mine is a Leap Year baby, she was in the local paper all the time when it was her real Birthday. but she actually celebrates it on the 1st March. I believe she is officially 6, 7 or 8 years old in leap years XD (im also actually seeing her today!)

The most logical approach according to me is celebrate on march 1.

If I recall my grandmother on my dad's side has her birthday on the 29th. It is still celebrated every year (I Think On March 1st) . though on the years it Does Get Cellebrated On the correct date Its Usually A really big deal.
