Leap Year
Did you know ?
There are really 365.2422 days that the earth rotates the sun in a year? that's just over 5 extra hours a year, not a big deal since that's only a quarter of a day, but over time Winter would become summer and summer winter.
Hence Leap Year every 4 years!
Every century we would loss 24 days, Which is were the problem begins, eventually July 4 th could become Christmas and Christmas could end up being Halloween,
Hey maybe the retailers know something we don't!! ; )
What's even more amazing is this was discovered during the Roman Empire under Julius Caesar in the year 45 BC!
Now that keeps me wondering!
