A White....Halloween?

Hello Dear Readers,
I'M BAAAACCCKKK!!! After reading my friend Olivia's HILARIOUS blog, I have been inspired to write again. Yay! It has been way too long and its nice to do this again.
So, first of all, Happy Halloweeen! The craziest thing about this Halloween? It SNOWED on Saturday. In fact, this was so crazy, that it felt like December, and I was compelled to watch Miracle on 34th Street on Netflix. I know, I know, its terrible, but the snow was so inspiring! Also, it is no secret that the holiday season is my absolute favorite time of the year. That movie got me even more excited! But its done, and I am back in the Halloween spirit! And now...I hereby pledge to not listen to any Christmas music or watch any holiday movies until Thanksgiving! The minute Santa passes by Macy's in Herald Square during the parade is when I am allowed to listen and watch all I want. Done and done.
Ok...one more Christmas thing. I know, I lied, but this is really cute! I would just like to say that the greatest moment in Miracle on 34th Street is when Santa talks to the little Dutch girl. Abhhh! Its so cute and makes me tear up. Ok, now I'm done. Back to pumpkins and Halloween.
Today is October 31st, so the famous Greenwich Village Halloween parade is tonight! I'm so excited! I have been to it for the past two years. The first year, it was pouring rain and miserable, but still a cool experience. Last year, Halloween fell on a Sunday, so after mass at my church, we had a rooftop party and watched the parade from up there! Yes, its true, my church sits directly on the parade route. Its pretty amazing and we throw a kickass party! Be jealous! This year, we are doing the same thing!!! I'm pumped! Its also a costume party, which will be fun. My boyfriend and I are dressing up as Woody and Jessie from Toy Story! We are ready to win this costume contest! Bring it on!
In true JUST JACKIE fashion, I will leave you with a youtube video. I know, you are probably thinking, "Geez, she better not post that Miracle on 34th Street clip with the Dutch girl! Its too early for that!" Well, to be honest, I thought about it, but no. Instead, I am going to leave you with one of the greatest moments in Halloween movie history! The famous "flames on the side of my face" moment from Clue! The best part about this clip is the faces of the other actors. You can tell that she totally forgot her lines and everyone else is like "what are you doing?" Haha! I love it! Enjoy and Happy Halloween!!!
