There is enough foolish behavior in the world. It’s hardly necessary to have a day when we celebrate it. But we do, thank God.

How did this so-called holiday begin? Well, before the Gregorian calendar was introduced, round about 1582, New Year’s day was celebrated round about April 1st. (Maybe Russia should change April Fool’s day into another New
Year’s. Then we could have New Year, Old New Year, and Medium Old New Year.)
