Why April Fools Days is my Least Favorite Holiday

Don't get me wrong, I love the pranks, but it is the date and the backstory of this holiday which I dislike.

You see, I love pranks. I love trying to stop them happening to yourself, and try to make them happen towards someone else. However, those pranks come a the first of april for a ridiculous reason. Originally, the first of april was around the first day of the year. This makes sense. Life starts BEGINNING in spring, from new born baby animals (which would have died if they had been born in winter, so are born specifically when the weather warms), to flowers and plants growing anew. This is the beginning of the year for life, but for whatever reason, somewhere in between the middle ages and the 1800s, it was moved to January 1. Then, some other holidays combined, and people celebrating January 1st as the new year pestered and played pranks on the "fools," who actually knew what they were talking about. Anyway, good luck with pranks U.R.F. is awesome, good night.
