Besides allowing those born on February 29th an opportunity to celebrate their birthday on their actual birth date it is in fact, a corrective measure, because earth does not orbit the sun in precisely 365 days. In fact it takes 365.25 days to orbit the sun, so those in the know decided to add an extra day every 4 years to balance things out and they chose February because it is the only month without 30 or 31 days. "History Lesson Over". In keeping with tradition we will celebrate Valentines day on Friday, February 14th. While love happens every day, a special day has been set aside to express our everyday love in a very open manner.
