Does Christmas ever skip falling on a Tuesday due to a leap year?

Skipping a Tuesday is basically the same as asking when was Christmas Day on a Wednesday in a leap year. That happens every 28 years. Going from the start of the 20th century to 2014, that happened in 1912, 1940, 1968 and 1996. It will next happen in 2024.

How many possible calendars are there that have February 3 falling on a Sunday Monday or Tuesday?
6 (3 regular years, 3 leap years)
How often will a calendar repeat itself?
This is variable, it depends on the way leap years fall in between any two given years. For example, Christmas of 1990 was a Tuesday but because of the occurrence of the leap year in 1996, Tuesday got skipped over and didn't occur again until 2001. However, since there are 2 leap years between 2007 and 2012, there is as few as five years between 2 Christmases falling on Tuesday (one in 2007 and this coming Christmas). Between the year falling after a leap year and six years later (e.g. 2001), since there is only one leap day between these years (2004), the Christmases of 2001 and 2007 were both Tuesdays and similarly, since there is only one leap year in-between 2012 and 2018 (2016), Christmas 2018 (six years later) will fall on EXACTLY the same day of the week as it will in 2012 (bear in mind that the 2018 calendar will not match exactly with a 2012 calendar, as 2018 only has 365 days, whilst 2012 has 366 days).
