Everyone knows Valentine’s Day, but do you
know Galentine’s Day? It originates from the eccentric mind of Parks and
Recreation character Leslie Knope. It falls on Feb. 13, the day before
Valentine’s Day.
"Oh it's only the
best day of the year. Every February 13th, my lady friends and I leave our
husbands and our boyfriends at home, and we just come and kick it,
breakfast-style. Ladies celebrating ladies. It's like Lilith Fair, minus the
angst. Plus frittatas." - Leslie Knope
Why should you observe Galentine’s Day? It’s
important to celebrate your friendship with your gal-pals! Romance can be fleeting,
but friendship is forever. How many
people accept you for who you are, are there when you need to talk, and support
you through the hardest of times?

celebrate Galentine’s Day? Check out 23 Reasons You Need To Celebrate Galentine’s
Day This Year from Buzzfeed.
Now that you’re (hopefully) convinced you
should celebrate Galentine’s Day, how can
you celebrate it? You can follow Leslie and have a breakfast/brunch/brinner
with stacks and stacks of waffles, or watch a movie together, group mani-pedis,
or go out for a few drinks. It is up to you and your BFF(s) to decide.
It’s also a storied Galentine’s Day
tradition to exchange gifts. Leslie Knope chose to give her friends handmade
mosaic portraits, much to their confusion. We have a few alternative, slightly
less creepy ideas.
