There was always one holiday I was confused about, April Fool’s day. What is it? And who invented this holiday for what reason? I learned all this by visiting the website, http://wilstar.com/holidays/aprilfool.htm. While it says the purpose of the holiday is unclear, maybe having to do with spring, it gives a date it started on, 1582 in France. What happened was in France the New Year was changed from April 1st, to January 1st. Those who refused to switch were the butt of practical jokes. In Scotland the holiday is celebrated for 2 days. The usual is doing simple jokes such as telling a funny joke, or to the elaborate as the British did. In England there was a detailed documentary that came out on spaghetti farmers and their spaghetti trees. Although it may be a nuisance to some, April Fool’s day is just a fun-loving holiday.
