04/01 April Fool's Day Practical jokes are a common practice on April Fool's Day. Sometimes, elaborate practical jokes are played on friends or relatives that last the entire day. The news media even gets involved. For instance, a British short film once shown on April Fool's Day was a fairly detailed documentary about "spaghetti farmers" and how they harvest their crop from the spaghetti trees.

National Repot Your Plant Day

Repotting in early spring has a few key advantages:

  • It helps maintain good plant health.
  • You get to renew the "tired" soil in the existing pot, and thereby give the plant a fresh supply of essential nutrients.

04/06

Sorry Charlie Day Sorry Charlie Day honors those who have been rejected and lived through it.
04/07 No Housework Day No trash. No dishes. No making of beds or washing of laundry.  And no guilt.  Give it a rest! 
04/08 Trading Cards for Grown-ups Day Why should we alleged adults have to give up our precious trading cards just because we get older? No more faking interest in our kids' "Purse Maniacs," or whatever they're called. What'll you give me for a holographic Elizabeth McGovern?
04/12 Easter  
04/12 Walk on Your Wild Side Day -- Time's wasting, friends. It's high time you went out and did some things no one expects you to do. Be unpredictable for once. Go to work dressed like a gorilla, get a Master's degree, something "they" said you'd never do. 

04/15

Income Tax Day

 

04/17 Blah Blah Blah Day A day to do all the things everyone's been nagging you about. So . . . quit smoking, get a real job. Lose weight, gain weight, and take out the trash!
04/18 Pet Owner's Independence Day Dog and cat owners take off from work and the pets go to work in their place, since most pets are jobless, sleep all day and do not even take out the trash.  Owners get to stay home all day and lie around on the back of the sofa.
