Gift Day

It should be a "you" day - that extra day that gets plugged into the calendar every fourth year.

Leap day should not be an extra work or school day, nor should it be a catch up on chores day.

Leap day should be a gift. A day to spend doing only the things that bring you pleasure - reading a book, taking a walk, indulging in an afternoon nap, pursuing that favorite hobby.

It would take some planning to be certain - no gas stations would be open, no restaurant meals would be served - because leap day would be everyone's gift day.

Imagine such a day.  Imagine a slice of heaven.
