Galentine’s Day is upon us once again! February 14th is Valentine’s Day, but February the 13th is the day we celebrate the poetic land mermaids in our lives. On the television show Parks and Recreations, Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) holds an annual gathering to celebrate female friendships. She calls it Galentine’s Day and the idea has caught on. Holidays look different this year with the pandemic. However, do not let that stop Galentine’s Day! Zoom call your besties, grab some tasty treats, and send them a geeky gift or two.
