To the majority of us, February means Valentine’s Day, and let’s admit it, who isn’t partial to a bit of wintery romance? For some, it’s a chance to show appreciation for the other half. Others find it saccharine sweet, whilst there are those who dread the annual celebration of love. But whatever your stance, most of us would probably agree this special day shouldn’t be exclusive to couples. After all, love comes in many guises and should be inclusive. It’s also true that friendships can very often supersede family members and in some cases, even partners!! After all, a true friendship can endure throughout a whole lifetime, so isn’t it time that we celebrated these too?
What is Galentine’s Day?
If you’ve not come across this rising phenomenon yet, Galentine’s Day is the celebration of female friendship. It falls on the 13th of February, a day ahead of Valentine’s and the thinking behind it is to encourage women to celebrate and spend time with their closest female friends. Now there’s an idea!! I mean who doesn’t love hanging out with their best friends, putting the world to rights, and even being treated to a special gift by them? Bizarrely, Galentine’s Day came about from a 2010 scene in the US tv sitcom, ‘Parks and Recreation’, where the character, Leslie Knopes talks about spending every February 13th with her lady friends, whilst their partners are left at home. Recently, the day has gained traction as more women the world over have embraced the concept, not only talking about Galentine’s Day but joining in with it.
What Can You Do on Galentine’s Day?
Well, the question should be what can’t you do? Of course, there are all the normal activities like brunch, going to a spa, shopping, taking in a movie or having a Galentine’s Party. For something more original, why not try a cocktail making class, a day as a zookeeper with your best pal or an open water swim? The saying ‘anything goes’ really does apply when it comes to Galentine’s Day, the only prerequisite being that fun and laughter is involved. So, why don’t you make a diary note for 13th February 2022? Ladies celebrating ladies can only be a wonderful thing.
