Yahoo Movies These April Holidays and Observances Give Us Every Excuse to Celebrate
April is a special month filled with holidays and observances. This year, April hosts Easter Sunday, which certainly becomes the center of attention for people who celebrate. But the month of April is also associated with springtime, new beginnings, and a time to bloom. That's not a coincidence either. April comes from the Latin verb "Aperire" which means "to open." Like the flowers and trees, it's a time to start fresh and shed those cool weather layers. With the month comes a wide array of holidays and observances to make every day a reason to celebrate.
From health awareness and art to cuisines and music, April is a month worth celebrating (except Tax Day 😖). Oh, and we can't forget about April Fool's Day. Starting the month with some friendly pranks always reminds us to not take everything so seriously. No matter how serious or silly the holiday may be, there's surely a day that'll suit your fancy.
