Gag Gift Q+A


How did April Fool’s Day start?

The origin of April Fool’s Day is kind of a mystery, but here’s one theory: Back in the 1500s, France switched from an old calendar to a new version, which moved New Year’s Day to January 1. The people who didn’t get the memo and kept celebrating New Year’s on April 1 became the “April fools.” So, others would play pranks on them, and the tradition just stuck. Fast forward a few hundred years, and here we are still pranking everyone we know every April 1!
