1. April - April Fools Day

The history of April Fool's Day, sometimes called All Fool's Day, is not totally clear. As pointed out to some degree by others, France once celebrated the New Year's beginning on March 25, ending with parties on April 1.
In Deutschland spricht man vom 1. April und schickt die Mitmenschen in den April. Der Ursprung ist unklar, die plausibelste Erklärung scheint mit der Reformierung des Gregorianischen Kalenders anno 1584 zusammenzuhängen.
