It all started in France in the reign of Charles IX, Till the year 1564, the first of April was New Year's Day. People celebrated the day by visiting one another and by giving and receiv- ing gifts. In 1564, Charles IX declared that the year should begin from the first of January. Many people did not like the change and refused to go by the new calendar. The ones who accepted the new calendar, made fun of those who didn’t by sending them make- believe gifts and inviting them to non-existent parties on the first of April. And so they became April Fools. The day came to be known as April Fools’ Day or All Fools’ Day. Later people started playing other harmless pranks on one another on the first of April and the tradition continues to this day.
