February is the season of love, and everyone makes sure to mark their calendars for the 14 th for special dates with their significant others, but what about the gal pals in your life? "Parks and Recreation"'s main character, Leslie Knope, has a solution for that on Feb. 13: Galentine’s Day! Here’s what makes Galentine’s Day such a wonderful holiday for 21 st-century women.
1. The celebration of friends
These women support you every single day, and getting to celebrate that is so important to friendships.
2. Breakfast foods
Galentine's day is judgement-free, which allows the shoveling of a triple deck of chocolate-chip pancakes with extra whipped cream even more enjoyable.
3. Girl talk
Catching up on the latest news of all your girlfriends makes you realize why you love them so much in the first place.
4. Giving gifts
5. No boys allowed
Save the boyfriend/husband dates for the 14th because the 13th is dedicated to girlfriends!6. No dress code
Galentine's Day -- no need for make up or fancy dresses. Show up in your PJs for a Galentine date, and your friends will still love you for who you are. Even if that happens to be an unshowered, groufit-wearing lady.
7. The compliments
If there's one thing friends are great at, it's giving compliments. They bring your self-esteem through the roof. Galentine's Day invites you to use the best adjectives to describe your very best girl friends.
8. All-day extravaganza
Breakfast might be over, but the activities of Galentine's Day can continue as long as you want. Ladies, grab your purses. We're going shopping!
9. The love
The love you have for your girlfriends will only grow with every moment you spend with them. Soon, you'll be asking yourself how you didn't think of Galentine's Day sooner.
10. It's annual
It may not be nationally known right now, but that doesn't mean it won't be in coming years. Every year there's a day designed to celebrate the women who help you with all your challenges and achievements. Happy Galentine's Day, everyone!
