Who needs Valentine's Day during a year when getting close to people means you could catch a lot more than a case of lovesick?
This is the perfect year to lean into a more socially distanced and, frankly, less pressured holiday. The antidote? Embrace Galentine's Day.
Born from the ancient, mystic sitcom "Parks and Recreation," the "Galentine's Day" episode first aired on February 11, 2010. It features Amy Poehler's character, Leslie, as she navigates her way through a day of love-life disappointments -- in trying to set up her mother on what turns out to be a bad date and dealing with her own partner's rude behavior. She rebels against the traditional slog of Valentine's Day and invents a day to rejoice with her girlfriends and celebrate herself.
