Leap years can be perceived differently by people and cultures.
For some, it brings hope for forthcoming good fortune, while for others, it brings superstitions.
Individuals born on February 29 celebrate their ‘official’ birthdays only once every four years, and they are commonly known as 'leaplings.'
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to celebrating this special occasion.
Some people may choose to celebrate for two days, while others may choose to celebrate for the entire month.
