Five ways to celebrate Galentine's Day like 'Parks and Recreation's' Leslie Knope

Whether you’re single or momentarily wishing you were single, relationship status isn’t important on the wonderful holiday created by Parks and Recreation’s Leslie Knope. Celebrating friendship is the number one priority, so leave your boyfriends and husbands at home because February 13th is officially Galentine’s Day.

1. Brunch
Brunch is a therapeutic and chic way to cure your hangover with the best medicine- gossip, mimosas, and in Leslie Knope’s case, waffles.

2. Excessive Monogramming
Galentine’s day isn’t complete without monogramming everything within a two foot radius.

3. Crafting
There’s nothing that can get a group of middle age house wives or southern sorority girls more excited than crafting. So get the mod podge and glitter ready and consult the holy mecca of crafting Pintrest for inspiration.

Pinterest is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. #trendyproblems

4. Chick flicks
If excessively quoting Mean Girls is wrong then we don’t want to be right.

5. Galentine’s day cards
Whether it’s a 5,000 word essay or not, or simply your friend know how much you appreciate them is the true meaning of Galentine’s day.
