The origins of Galentine's Day

Sure, Valentine's Day continues to steal the show in February, the month of all things love and romance, but the far more inclusive and arguably better holiday is Galentine's Day. 

Galentine's Day began as a fictitious holiday introduced on prime-time television and is a friendship version of Valentine's Day. Think Galentine's Day is to Valentine's Day as Friendsgiving is to Thanksgiving. In the same vein as its successor, Galentine's Day is celebrated via gift giving, endearing acts of service and quality time. So, be sure to send your close friends a sweet message, surprise them with their favorite treats or share another kind gesture that lets them know you're thinking of them.
