False Confession Day

False Confession Day is celebrated in the US on November 21st. It’s a holiday for those who like to invent fantastic stories, joke, have fun, and surprise friends. If this sounds like you, then join in the celebration!

History

The origin of False Confession Day is unknown, but it is clear that the creator of the holiday was an incredible entertainer! While confession is typically a serious matter, false confessions are more lighthearted and are sure to bring a good mood that lasts a long time. There are two unspoken rules, however: jokingly admitting to criminal activity and confessing love while playing with someone’s feelings are off-limits. The purpose of the day is to shock and amuse others.
