If you\u2019re an avid Parks and Recreation fan, then you\u2019ve probably come across the term, \u2018Galentine\u2019s Day\u2019 \u2014 the day before Valentine\u2019s day that\u2019s dedicated to celebrating your friends, or \u2018your gals\u2019, but for the sake of gender neutrality, \u2018your pals\u2019. Why, you ask? Well, Valentine\u2019s day is probably one of the world\u2019s most hated holidays, because it reminds singletons of their singleness, which is the last thing single people need reminding of\u2026. So, Galentine\u2019s Day offers an alternative celebration to romantic love by celebrating platonic love \u2014 a more relatable and universal type of affection.<\/p>\n

Celebrating Galentine’s Day<\/h3>\n

\"\"The general idea is that you get together with your best pals and tell each other how much you love and appreciate them \u2014 fun, right? There’s far less pressure and you don\u2019t have to worry about drinking too much, because chances are, you\u2019ve already done that in front of your best friends, so they\u2019ve seen it all. It\u2019s basically an excuse to have a party! Even if you\u2019re in a relationship, celebrating Galentine\u2019s Day gives you the chance to shift focus a bit and spend some time with your nearest and dearests (those who have really <\/i>been there for you, through thick and thin).<\/p>\n

If we\u2019ve convinced you to celebrate this most wonderful holiday, then here are some ideas for how to go about celebrating.<\/p>\n

Brunch<\/h3>\n

Again, if you\u2019re a Parks & Rec fan, you\u2019ll understand why this is at the top of the list. The true birth of the Galentine\u2019s tradition. Besides that, brunch is amazing because it combines two of the best things in life \u2014 breakfast food and mimosas! So what better way to celebrate your friends than a boozy, syrupy, lush brunch.<\/p>\n

Weekend Away<\/h3>\n

This year, Galentine\u2019s Day falls on a Sunday, so you can make an entire weekend of it. Gather your group of pals and go away for the weekend. Relax, read, swim and be merry! A weekend away really gives you enough time to catch up.<\/p>\n

Dancing!<\/h3>\n

There’s no curfew! Clubs are open, people! Go out and have a dance with your gals\/pals and not only celebrate your singleness, but celebrate the end of enforced early nights as well.<\/p>\n

Group Ceramics\/Painting\/Cooking Class<\/h3>\n

Group art classes are a lot of fun and help take the pressure off the situation. Sometimes it can be a bit intimidating going to these things alone, so bring your friends, a bottle of wine and snacks, and make some stuff.<\/p>\n

Games Night<\/h3>\n

A true classic, because it never gets old. Invite your friends over for a night of board games, charades and possibly even karaoke (live a little).<\/p>\n
