Galentine’s Day

Friendship has a special meaning for every person. It is important for girls to know they have friends they can always rely on. Celebrated on February 13, Galentine’s Day reminds us of the great importance of any moment spent with loved ones. Today, it’s worth saying “thank you” to everyone who supports us after breakups, stays up all night for conversations, and always cheers us up with sparkling jokes.

History

In 2009, a new series called “Parks and Recreation” appeared on television. Pretty quickly, the show won the attention of the audience. A particularly memorable character was the main character, the official Leslie Knope. She was never lucky in romantic relationships. To cope with emotional experiences, her best friends always found themselves nearby. She came up with her own holiday to show her love for them. They decided to celebrate the occasion the day before February 14, in defiance of all couples in love.

Despite not having official status, the holiday gained great popularity. At first, only fans of the television series took part in it. A special episode was released in 2010, and billboards with shining Galentine’s Day inscriptions began to appear in cities.

Girls across the country decided to make the celebration a national friendship day. They do not miss the opportunity to please their friends with unexpected surprises and bright gifts. On this day, women try to show how important friendship is to them. No man in the world can change that.

Fun Facts

1. According to surveys, 98% of women have best friends. Many note that they trust them much more than romantic partners.
2. On one of the days of the celebration, a new movement appeared – #WomenSupportWomen. Over the years, it gained great fame. Women try to prove that they are independent individuals who do not need support from men.

How to Celebrate

The holiday is the perfect occasion to meet with friends. Today, exclude all representatives of the stronger sex from your life and spend time with your friends. Go shopping, visit the spa, and throw a pajama party. Do everything possible to make this day memorable for a long time.
