Galentine’s Day Fun With Pinot’s Palette! Join Us!
Galentine's Day is a pre-Valentine's Day celebration made famous by Amy Poehler's character Leslie Knope on Parks and Recreation. It's a day to celebrate your coworkers, friends, sisters, cousins, and more: essentially, the people you love who you don't typically show appreciation to on Valentine's Day itself.
Galentine's Day can be an alternative to Valentine's Day if you don't have a significant other to shower with roses and presents, or it can be an additional way to celebrate the non-romantic relationships in your life. And these fun Galentine's Day paintings are the perfect way to show your friends how much you care about them.
Galentine's Day, formed by a blend of gal and Valentine's Day, is a day in which women celebrate their female friendships. The new holiday debuted in a 2010 episode of Parks and Recreation. The term is also seeing increased use in celebrating any kind of friendship, not just those among women.
Many people have a kind of love-hate relationship with Valentine’s Day: the holiday is disparaged as a manufactured holiday forced upon us by greeting card companies, and there’s often a sense that it’s only for people who are romantically paired, making it feel rooted in exclusion.
All of which sets the stage perfectly for Galentine’s Day.
That’s right: Galentine’s Day—a day for women to celebrate their friendships with their lady friends. It’s Valentine’s Day with your gals.
The word—a blend of Valentine’s Day and gal—was introduced to the world by the chipper and dedicated Leslie Knope, the fictional Deputy Director of the Parks and Recreation Department of the also-fictional city of Pawnee, Indiana, in the NBC comedy Parks and Recreation, which ran from 2009 to 2015.
What's Galentine'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.
