"Because only one day out of the year is Christmas, it is right 364.2425/365.2425 (approximately 99.726209299 %) of the time, which Randall rounded to 99.73 %, a level of precision which leaves it ambiguous as to whether or not the calculation takes into account leap days."  ....actually, since you have.2425 days in the calculation, you are automatically calculating leap days also.  So there is no ambiguity.  But otherwise very well written.
