Love (or hate) Valentine's Day?: We can all celebrate with 60 hilarious Valentine's Day memes What is the meaning of Galentine's Day? One of the many wonderful things about celebrating Galentine's Day is the opportunity it gives us to lift each other up. Think of this day as one giant wave of YOU GO GIRL and channel that kind of energy into your Galentine's Day card. You can do this by complimenting something about your gal pals. Think of specific examples in each of their lives where they've shined and lift them up by pointing them out. You can also point to a quality or example of an action in their lives that doesn't get enough praise. If you want to take Miss Knope's lead, you can go hard on the compliments by compounding them one on top of the other ("beautiful, naive, sophisticated, newborn baby" for example) or do something that's more aligned with your own way of complimenting. However it is you choose to lift up your gals, be specific, sincere, and personal to each one of them. Galentine's Day is meant to embody the spirit of Valentine's Day day— all the mushiness and affection— except rather than doling it out to your lover, you dole it out toyour friends. Given that Galentine’s Day was invented by Leslie Knope… It seems only fitting that her brilliant quotes make an appearance. Really, is there anyone better to help celebrate your lady friends?

Aside from lifting each other up, Galentine's Day is here to make sure we don't take our gals for granted. Our lady friends are by our sides (figuratively or literally) helping us navigate this nutso world so it's our responsibility to make sure they know we appreciate them. Use your Galentine's Day card message to show some gratitude for your ladies. The easiest and most straight forward way to do that is simply to say thank you. Just be sure to have something to thank them for. For example, "Thank you for always responding to my texts, no matter what; I know I can always count on you." A little love day humour perfect for the gal who loves a good glass of wine.

Instead, Galentine’s Day was founded by a badass fictional character: Leslie Knope of Parks and Recreation. Leslie Knope, the delightful fictional character played by Amy Poehler on Parks and Recreation, introduced the world to this wonderful holiday. And humankind is better for it. Galentine’s Day cards your bestie(s) are bound to adore. For the lady who writes, these Leslie Knope adorned pencils will remind her of your friendship and inspire the next great masterpiece.
