Happy April Fools Day to all of the self-proclaimed pranksters out there! Did you know that this tradition of “fooling” others dates back many centuries? Beginning in the 1500s, this day gained mainstream popularity in 18th century Britain by people pulling harmless jokes on each other. In modern time, people have gone to the extreme of pulling more elaborate pranks. So, whatever you decide to do today, keep it light and in good fun! Happy April Fools!
Wednesday marks the Spring Equinox, representing the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. As the weather slowly gets warmer, the days get longer and sunsets later. What will you do with the additional light? Will you spend more time outdoors, have an evening under the stars or plan some family fun at home? Whatever you decide, we wish you a very Happy Spring!
Later this week, many people will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day! Do you know why people wear green on this Irish holiday? Legend has it that if you’re wearing the color green, leprechauns won’t be able to see you. If they can’t see you, they can’t pinch you. So, the question remains…will you wear green on Sunday and avoid a pinch?
Are you ready for Valentine’s Day? Many choose to celebrate this popularly coined “Hallmark Holiday” by getting together with a spouse or significant other and enjoying a romantic meal paired with some bubbly. Not currently paired up? No problem! Valentine’s Day or “Galentine’s Day” can be a great excuse to gather up your gal or guy friends (perhaps both) and have a fun dinner party, night of pampering or casual movie night. However you chose to celebrate, we wish you a very happy “hearts day” to you and yours!
