I'd hardly call April fools day a holiday

I would say this post is directed at you guys then.

Just because it isn't your favorite holiday, doesn't make it not a holiday.
If it's on the Calendar, it's a holiday.

I have a calendar. April fools day isn't on it. It may be a tradition but it's not a holiday.

this is true it's not a holiday..... anywhere...

That's not true. Whether or not it is governmentally observed isn't what decides what's a holiday. Whether or not people celebrate it enough for it to make a calendar is what makes something a holiday.

Every day is a holiday, technically. It's just that not everyone celebrates all of them.

Would you claim Yom Kippur isn't a holiday because you don't celebrate it, or it isn't a national holiday? I don't think you would.

To call April Fool's day not a holiday is a form of prejudice, actually.

what ??? where do you get this stuff from....

what do you define a holiday ?

a public holiday ?? well it's not a recognised public holiday...

a personal holiday ??? well then that's your holiday but it's not a "holiday"

to be clear what I am staring is that April fools or all fools day is not a nationally recognised public holiday in any country.

it may however be personally recognised as a tradition by many. so if you wish to claim thst as a holiday then you go for it.

p.s stopping ruining Christmas for kids !!!

What I am saying is that holidays are older than any living government, they are not defined by them. They exist independently of them. In other words: governments have nothing to do with Holidays.

P.S.I'm not saying anything about Christmas so that doesn't apply to me. :expressionless: Saying what other people say doesn't count as saying it yourself. Quotes aren't the opinions of the quoter.
