Nowadays, Valentine's Day and Galentine's Day are a package deal: one celebrates romantic love and the other celebrates the love between gal pals. But it hasn't always been so. The concept of Galentine's Day is only a decade old — and originated from a 2010 episode of NBC's Parks and Recreation. The show's leading lady — Leslie Knope (played by Amy Poehler) — describes the holiday best: “Every February 13, my ladyfriends 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.”
