Wow! That came up fast. It seems like only four years ago it was Leap Year. Where does the time go?  I mean, I didn’t even remember to decorate for it, it came up so fast. I didn’t get you a Leap Gift. Hope you don’t mind….oh wait, this isn’t a holiday. Then why on earth are people acting like it is?

Leap Year sales, reports on “Leap Day”, little frogs everywhere.  It amazes me how people (when I say people, I mean corporations  and businesses) will take something as simple and mundane as Leap Year and make into a celebration where we should buy stuff.

If there is a way to make a buck they will find it.  What other “holidays” are going to come along to be beefed up and made into another celebration?  Why isn’t this much of a deal made over National Teacher Appreciation Day? Where are we going in our society when a pointless, extra day on our calendar becomes a reason to flog more crap that we don’t need.

Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Happy Leap Year!
