Don't be afraid to be fooled today! It is not Fool's Day yet it's March 32!!
April Fools' Day means something different to everyone who observes the date. For some, it's a chance to play April Fools' pranks on unsuspecting victims, whether that means silly and harmless tricks for all-ages fun... or a more elaborate (and R-rated) stunt for the grown folks in the crowd, or maybe April 1 doesn't mean mischief to you at all. Rather, the start of April each year can conjure all the joy and newness of the spring season, from warmer weather to wildflowers to dreamy spring break vacation ideas. To some, it means getting ready for the Easter holiday, with its cheerful decorations, indulgent and adorable dessert recipes, and creative Easter egg hunt ideas. And to others, it's about prepping for Passover and gathering friends and family for the Seder dinner. For all of the different significances of the date, April Fools' Day can be a time for reflection... as well as good-natured humor. It is so foolish if you don't celebrate April Fool's Day because that day is dedicated to the fool we all have inside us.
April Fool's Day is a fun holiday for many people who enjoy a surprise and chuckle. Who doesn't laugh at the candles that never blow out, the trick gum that snaps at a person's finger, or the fake flower that squirts water? As we celebrate April 1 as April Fool's Day, do we actually know the real meaning behind the celebration? Is it celebrated because people are so tired on April 1st because they just finished a 31-day March? There are so many different stories about how 1st April came to be celebrated as April Fool's Day. But the most widespread one is about the calendar.
In the year 1582, Pope Gregory, the XIII introduced a new calendar- the Gregorian calendar. This calendar started the new year on the 1st of January. But back then the information took time to spread. There was no Internet or phone back then. So for a long time, many people didn't know about the change in the calendar and many others who knew about it refused to accept the new calendar, These people continued to celebrate New Year's Day on the 1st Day of April. The people who had accepted the new calendar now started making fun of these non-believers. They would lead them to believe in things that didn't exist or even send them on fool's errands; errands that didn't exist. Eventually, the new calendar was accepted worldwide but the pranks stayed on.
All the pranks are just for harmless fun and never to hurt anyone. They usually end with the pranksters shouting "April Fool" and peels of laughter everywhere.
Thus if anyone calls you Beautiful...
If anyone appreciates you for no reason
If anyone thinks you are intelligent
Just smile and wish the person Happy April Fool's Day
What if your Birthday being on April Fool's Day was just a prank this whole time?
