Happy & Funny April 1st Fool Day

By
Real Estate Agent with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Crest CDRE #01044712

Every year on April 1st, and this year on Saturday April 1, 2023, we celebrate April 1st Fools Day.

There are several myths and theories about how, when, and where April 1st Fools Day developed.

One theory suggest that April Fools' Day began in the 1500s when Julian calendar replaced by the Gregorian calendar.

Many claim April 1st Fools Day originated during Romans' winter ending celebration; while others claim started from the Celtic's new year conclusion festivals.

One other theory that the April 1st Fools Day jokes and pranks related to the arrival of spring and weather changes.

There is another myth about April 1st Fools Day that people fail to respond with good humor to tricks attract bad luck.

There are several myths and theories about when, where, and how April 1st Fools Day started. However, there is no good clear evidence, why April 1st Fools Day developed into jokes and pranks full of entertaining day that everyone enjoy.

Enjoy & have fun on April 1st Fools Day.

Hello and Happy March 32, John - maybe we could skip over the first day of April.  Two steps forward, maybe a sideways shift too.

Hi John... I went to college with a girl named April. She had been born on April 1st. Always felt a bit like her parents had pranked her naming her April.

I have no personal theory as to where April Fools day came from John Pusa but it's here and I usually get fooled at least once during the day. This year only AR fooled me with their new rate structure.

Hello Bob "RealMan" Timm there are many theories as where April Fools day developed or came from. you are not alone, I usually get fooled at least once during the day too. This year when I read AR new rate structure I was fooled for a few seconds, then I notices it was April 1st Fools Day joke and I liked the joke. Thanks for the comment.
