The origins of.... "April Fools Day".... are questionable. The most commonly held theory dates, from around, 1582.That was the year France adopted the Gregorian Calendar, which shifted the observance of New Year's Day from the end of March....
to the first of January.
According to popular lore, some folks, out of ignorance, stubbornness, or both, continued to ring in the New Year on April first; and were made the butt of jokes and pranks because of their....
foolishness.
This became an annual tradition which ultimately spread throughout Europe and other parts of the world. Have a great time today and........ HAPPY ALL FOOLS DAY TO YOU TOO
