First of the Foolishness
by Kavita Padia

April Fool’s Day, also known as All Fool’s Day, is the most loved foolish holiday. It is not clear how this day came about. There are rumors that this day just randomly evolved simultaneously from several cultures at the same time.
The closest thing that can be pointed at as the start of April Fool’s Day is in France in the year 1581. The new year was celebrated for eight days beginning on March 25 and ending on April 1. During Charles IX’s reign, the reform calendar was changed to the Gregorian calendar. Due to the use of the Gregorian calendar, the new year’s was changed to January 1. Some just did not hear of the change of day for a couple of years. Others just refused to celebrate New Year’s on January 1 and continued to celebrate on April 1. These people were known as “fools.” These people were known as ridicules and became the center of peoples’ jokes. Over time this tradition of prank playing became known as April Fool’s Day.
Even today, there is a confusion on what day April Fool’s really is. In Scotland April Fool’s Day is celebrated for two days, April 1-2. In Mexico April Fool’s Day is celebrated on December 28.
