The Mayans never knew about leap years.....so by their calender it should already be 2013....so clearly we will all be fine. But just incase bunch of people are coming round mine for an end of the world party
There's also plenty of debate as to just how accurate the modern interpretation of the Mayan calendar actually is - as with the Christian timeline tracing back to Jesus' birth, it's been counted backwards to try to get a decent approximation.
That's without even mentioning the fact that the modern-day descendants of the Mayans don't believe that 21st December is the end of the world - they simply see it as the ticking over into the new cycle. It's just a (primarily) Western fascination with the 'end of the world'.
