Discover why businesses offer free treats on Leap Day and how Philly makes up for lost time in 2024!
Every four years, a magical extra day appears on our calendars - Leap Day. In 2024, this rare occurrence gifted us with an extra 24 hours, making the year 366 days long instead of the usual 365. Businesses like Wendy's and Krispy Kreme are celebrating this unique day with freebies and special deals for their customers. It's a time to indulge and enjoy the perks of a leap year, from discounts to delicious treats.
In Philly, the significance of Leap Day goes beyond freebies. It's a day to make up for 1440 minutes of lost time, symbolizing a chance to reset and catch up on moments missed over the past four years. As we orbit the sun for the fourth time since the last Leap Day, this extra day acts as a cosmic gift, reminding us to savor every minute.
Google even joined the celebration by marking Leap Day with a special doodle, emphasizing the uniqueness of this date and the joy it brings. NPR listeners shared inspiring ways to make the most of this rare day, from personal milestones to special celebrations, embracing the magic of an additional day in our calendar.
Leap Day isn't just about deals and freebies; it represents a moment of alignment with Earth's orbit.
