Directions:Summarize this paragraph in one sentence. Be specific and clearly explain the main idea. Before you put on that angry bird costume and exhaust yourself roving from door to door pandering for candy,take a minute to reflect on the tradition in which you are taking part. Halloween is believed to have come from an ancient Celtic festival dating back some 2,000 years. Novembe 1st was the Celtic New Year and marked the end of summer to the Celts, so they celebrated on its eve by wearing costumes made of animal skins and dancing around bon fires. Over the next two millennia, this primitive celebration grew to be candy fueled costume ball that we know today.
