All special holidays in my country, I like New Year the most. Tet is an opportunity for everyone to enjoy the warm atmosphere. Before Tet, people prepare things and decorate their houses. I planted a lot of flowers in front of the house and bought many things like clothes, food ... Besides, most of the streets are also beautifully decorated with colorful lights and flowers. During Tet, I spend more time visiting relatives, friends and colleagues. In particular, I give each other the best wishes for the new year. Tet is an opportunity for children to receive lucky money. The funny thing is, people try to avoid arguing or saying any bad things during Tet. I love Tet!

Tet is a national and family festival. It is an occasion for every Vietnamese to have a good time while thinking about the last year and the next year. At Tet, spring fairs are organized, streets and public buildings are brightly decorated and almost all shops are crowded with people shopping for Tet. At home, every is tidied, special food is cooked,offerings of food, fresh water, flowers and betel are made on the family altar with burning joss- sticks scenting the air. First-footing is made when the lucky visitor comes and children are given lucky money wrapped in a red tiny envelope. Tet is also a time for peace and love. During Tet, children often behave well and friends, relatives and neighbors give each other best wishes for the new year.
