February Facts ...

Once every six years, February is the only month that has four, full seven-day weeks.

February starts on the same day of the week as March and November in common years, and on the same day of the week as August on leap years.

February ends on the same day of the week as October every year.

In leap years, it is the only month that begins and ends on the same weekday.

People born on a leap year technically celebrate their birthday only once every four years, but most observe it on the 28th.

Celebrities born on Feb. 29 include Tony Robbins, Antonio Sabato, Jr., Mervyn Warren, and Dennis Farina.

Despite its status as the shortest month, February is packed with many events, including Valentine's Day and Groundhog's Day.

Americans celebrate the birth of two presidents in February, as well as Black History Month.
Mexicans celebrate Flag Day in February, while residents of St. Lucia celebrate their Independence Day.

February is also a time for families, especially in Canada, where Family Day is celebrated on the third Monday of the month in many provinces.

February is also an important month for sports fans, as two teams face each other in the Super Bowl on the first Sunday of February.

No one really knows for certain why February was relegated to the shortest month.

However, with so much trivia and special events surrounding the month, it is still a special time of year.
