Galentines Day?

Just Bling · ‎03-10-2010

Come on Q, let's preserve one day and not mess it up.

It's Valentine's Day, it means something, it's not anything else but Valentine's Day.

Please have someone change your Home Page and preserve the Holiday Day (yes, I know it's not an official Holiday) but let it be what it is.

So next month, you're going to do St. Gadricks Day, St Gadgets Day, St. Geriatrics Day................a play on words is not appropriate.

Galentine's Day is from the TV show Parks and Recreation. Leslie Knope created it to celebrate friendship between women and it was held the day before Valentine's Day. My friends and I celebrate it because A) it's fun and B) women's friendships are important to us.

So I'm going to have to disagree with you. Galentine's Day is awesome and totally appropriate.

It just sounds silly to me, just like mashing names together and other made up words.

All these women friendship days are really too much. How did we all survive before a TV show created a day. The TV shows come and go but Valentines Day will survive forever.

Let us all abandon all these made up days and live each day and every day our very best and one day shouldn't represent what we are as people, and I'm not saying women only because it's really getting on my nerves all this women stuff.

What are the others? I think there's one in September, but what are the ones that make up "all these women friendship days" that are too much for you?

I agree 100% with the OP. It's SAINT Valentine's Day, and this is disrespectful to people whose faiths include honoring the saints. It matters nothing that some TV show drummed up some tacky promotion that involved corrupting the name, it's not right. I know the Q can't change it because they've created promotions tied to it, but it really is off-putting.

While we're at it, please everyone, call it The Fourth of July, NOT "Independence Day." Keep saying "The Fourth" as a hedge against the powers that be making this great date just another Monday holiday. QVC, please take note. THE FOURTH OF JULY.
