I ignore it, too.
Ive been so blessed to have been able to turn it into something else for me and my close friends and family.
April 1, 1994, was the day I quit smoking. I have never touched a cigarette since then. My daughter was 12, yet she has remembered every single year since, it was such a big deal to her.
She always praises me. She used to give me flowers and stuff, or a card. Not this time, but she still called up and said, "so, how many years has it been since you did that greatest thing?' She is a gem. (I had forgotten this year - oops!)
So that's all April 1st is to me. The other stuff I always thought was pretty silly....and sometimes came across mean, like you said...
