With April Fool’s, comes jokes, laughter, and fun. A great way to get a laugh out of someone is to send them a hilarious April Fool’s ecard. BlueMountain offers some of the funniest ecards on the block, and you get a free 1 month trial to send out as many as you want. Perfect timing for Wednesday around the corner to send out to all your friends. Or enemies if you’d rather! Plus, it’s green, so your saving the planet at the same time you are pulling practical jokes. Fun huh?

But, where did April Fool’s day come from exactly? France of course! In the 16th century, the new year was celebrated in France just as it was here in the states, but instead of January 1st, it was celebrated on April 1st. Then, in 1562, the calendar was changed by Pope Gregory, and January 1st became the new New Years Day.

However, there were many folks who either never knew about the new calendar, or ignored it and continued to celebrate the new year on April 1st. These folks were then made fun of and played tricks on by the rest of the population and called April fools. Viola! April Fools Day was born!

So, if you are still sitting around trying to figure out the perfect way to cuckold your best friend and play the perfect April Fool’s trick on them, consider a BlueMountain April Fool’s Day card. They are cute, funny, and feature a surprise last minute gag at the end. My favorite is this one, called Gotcha!

They also have one called April Fool’s Day that is fun and entertaining, and a whole lot more to choose from as well. And if your not on the look out for an April Fool’s Day ecard, you can of course find a ton of other fun and interesting ecards to suit just about any occasion.

Happy April Fools!
