Spaniards celebrate December 28, Holy Innocents’ Day, in much the same way Americans celebrate April Fools’ Day, by playing practical jokes on one another. Children’s parties and games are also held on this day. Although Innocents’ Day commemorates a bloody event, folk customs associated with this day are fun and frivolous.
