During the year, there are many festivals going on, but the one I love the most is the Chinese New Year. Tet Nguyen Dan is a traditional Vietnamese holiday, an opportunity for everyone to return home and together in a warm atmosphere. Before Tet, people usually shop for a lot of animals such as confectionery, food, jam, clothes, and decorations, and clean the house. The street is beautifully decorated with colorful lights. Flags and flowers are also hanging everywhere. In my hometown, everyone’s family wrapped Banh Chung on Tet. On Tet holiday, there are also many other dishes, all delicious and attractive. On the last day of the year, everyone will eat the party together, of course, and have a nice chat. On the first day of the year, everyone will come to each other’s house and give each other the most meaningful wishes. Children will receive lucky money from adults. In the first days of the year, people also go to the temple to pray for peace and luck. Tet is not only an ordinary festival, it is also a cultural beauty of Vietnam. I really like Tet, because it is an opportunity for my family to be together.

Tet, as known as the Lunar New Year holiday is one of the most important festivals in Vietnam. Tet usually occurs at the end of January or at the beginning of February. Tet holiday often lasts for 7 - 9 days. Before Tet, all family members clean and cleared all the house and the garden. They also decorate the house with parallel sentences and peach or apricot blossoms. During Tet, some families enjoy this festival by preparing traditional food such as Vietnamese square cake, dried candied fruit, braised pork, eggs, etc. Especially, for children, they look forward to Tet holiday because they can receive lucky money from adults as a way to give them wishes for the new year. For all Vietnamese, Tet is an occasion for them to reunite after 12-month working hard outside. That is the time to have family gatherings and welcome the new year with many blessings.
