Why is February 29th chosen to be the leap day over December 32?

February is short, so adding an extra day doesn't ever make it longer than any other month.
February is short because a Caesar, Augustus, stole a day from it so his month (August, respectively) would be 31 days instead of the original 30. When the need for leap year was discovered it was only reasonable to add it back to the shortest month of February. Also, in the Roman calendar February was the last month, so it was also reasonable to add the leap day onto the last month of the year.
