April Fools’ Day

April Fools’ Day is an informal holiday celebrated every year on April 1. People from all around the world play pranks on each other, and the holiday has been celebrated since the Roman times. There are many different theories on the origin of April Fools’ Day, but the most common explanation is that it began as a way to mock French people who were slow to switch from the old Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar which changed New Year's from April 1 to January 1. One problem with this explanation is that it does not account for the spread of April Fools' Day to the rest of the world. The British did not adapt the Gregorian calendar until 1752, but they had already been celebrating April Fools’ Day for a while. The origin remain a mystery, but that does not stop people from pranking each otherJ
