April Fool's Day April 1st

You celebrate April Fool's Day in Spain at a different time of year.
Let's see if you can figure out what I'm talking about.

Example 1:
Your brother ALWAYS monopolizes the bathroom in the morning. You ALWAYS want to get in at 9:00 but he makes you wait for 20 minutes while he takes a shower, shaves and talks to you through the locked door.
You get up very early on April 1st and lock yourself in the bathroom.
You turn on your music and start the shower, write a message for him on the mirror with his shaving cream saying "Happy April Fool's Day", put something under the door so it doesn't open easily as you leave, and go into your room to get ready for school. After listening to him complain outside the bathroom door for 10 minutes, you walk by and say "Good Morning. Happy April Fool's Day."

Example 2:
Your friend thinks he's really smart. You tell him you saw the results of the exam and he got the best grade in the class. He starts telling everyone, but when he goes to see the scores posted on the bulletin board, he sees that he got the lowest passing grade. You say, "Happy April Fool's Day."

On April Fool's day you play tricks on your friends and family. In Spain it's "Santos Inocentes" December 28th
