Welcome to our selection of free calendars for February 2024!
All these printable February 2024 calendars are completely free for personal use. The second and shortest month of the year has pretty amazing history. Just like January it didn't have a name until 713 BC when it was called February after the old purification festival Februalia ('februare' means 'to clean', later joined with Lupercalia, which is predecessor of St. Valentine's Day.
February has 28 or 29 days, depending on the year. If last two digits can be divided with four (like 08, 16, 28), it has 29 days. The exception are years ending with two zeroes (which have 28 days in February), but not years ending with three or more zeroes (these have 29 days as well). Years with 29 days in February are called leap years. Last leap year was 2020 and next will be 2024.
February is in general not so cold as January but it is still winter month with a bit more rain and a bit less snow.
One of the most known traditions in second month of the year is a celebration of Groundhog Day, originating in Pennsylvania, USA. It is believed if a groundhog comes out of his burrow on February 2, spring is already on its way. If the weather is sunny, groundhog will see his shadow and retreat, what means another six weeks of winter.
Another interesting holiday, specific for the USA, is Presidents Day, which was established to commemorate the birthday of George Washington, first president of USA, but also to honor all other presidents. If we know George Washington was born on February 22, we can ask why this date is not fixed?
Why it falls on third Monday in February? There are several resons for that, but main is related to business. Numerous companies and public services adapted to the possibility of prolonged weekend in February and we can even find special coupons and promotional codes made for the occasion of Presidents Day only.

Art is full of romantic stories which sometimes ended with fairy tale happily ever after and sometimes with a tragedy, but always inspired sentimental souls all over the world.
It doesn't matter if your love story resembles the story of Rhett Butler and Scarlett O’Hara, Orpheus and Eurydice, Tristan and Isolde, Lancelot and Guinevere, or Romeo and Juliet, the main point is to keep the passion alive ant these huge red hearts on monthly calendars will remind you of this simple fact.
Did you know that being in love brings many health benefits? It increases your energy levels, decreases stress and in general you feel younger. Of course in case of unrequited love whole new world of problems opens, but we have to stay positive. As Alfred Lord Tennyson poetically stated, it's better to have love and lost than never have loved at all.
If you are not in happy relationship right now, don't panic, there are plenty of fish in the sea. And if you don't like the fuss around Valentine, you can always join the anti-Valentine's movement, which in recent years became stronger than ever. They even celebrate their own holiday, called Singles's Day every November 11!
