Men around the world might be thinking, “As if Valentine’s Day wasn’t enough…” Today is Girlfriend’s Day! I say, why not? Married women get a wedding anniversary. (Although my boyfriend and I celebrate an anniversary of our first date every year.) Well, girlfriends can never have too much attention!
This made-up holiday (who makes these things up anyway?) isn’t limited to the boyfriend-girlfriend-couples genre. It is also intended for celebrating girls that are friends! I found a website that lists a bunch of ways girlfriends can enjoy this holiday together:
SheKnows.com – National Girlfriends Day
It’s pretty stereotypical if you ask me. There is one suggestion that I do like – donating clothes. Girlfriends share clothes all the time! Why not share some of your least-used tops with the less fortunate? I’m all for helping the needy. They need it!
Personally, what I plan to do is leave facebook messages/blog comments/etc. for my female friends, to at least make them AWARE of this festive day! Most likely, nobody’s heard of it.
Why are there so many of these ridiculous holidays anyway? I found some great resources with random holidays and such, and I plan to share the best ones with you all, as often as I can!
