You know that friend who ditches you as soon as they get into a relationship? (FYI, if you don't have that friend, you are that friend. Text someone other than your partner right now please) Leslie has her fair share of crushes and boyfriends before ending up with Ben Wyatt (television's most wonderful nerd). But she is careful to never prioritise her lover of her closest buddies. So committed is Leslie to this goal that she invents Galentine's Day, a holiday celebrating female friendship held every year on 13th February. Gifts are exchanged and breakfast is consumed. It's "ladies celebrating ladies" and it's glorious. Since the "Galentine's Day" episode aired in 2010, the event has spilled over into real life with female fans of the show expressing their appreciation of their mates on 13th February and even throwing Galentine's Day brunches. Nice work, ladies. Be the Leslie Knope you wish to see in the world.
