Around 1582 in France, there was a reform of the calendar under Charles IX. This Gregorian Calendar changed New Year to January 1, instead of new year's week of March 25-April 1. In protest, some people in France continued to celebrate on the last day of the former celebration (April 1). Those people were called "fools", they were sent fake invitations to parties, and had other practical jokes played on them. This tradition of pranks and jokes spread in the 18th century. : )
