Normally, the day that a certain event falls on moves one day each year. For example, Christmas was on a Monday in 2006 and so on a Tuesday in 2007. (This is because 365 days per year divided by 7 days per week gives one day left over.) However, when February 29th is added in a leap year, the days after it are shifted forwards. This means that Christmas in 2008 will be on a Thursday, not a Wednesday as would be normally expected, so has "leaped" a day.
