Tet or Lunar New Year is the main holiday for Vietnamese people. It is the most important celebration in the year which falls sometimes between January 19 and February 20. Tet marks the beginning of spring and it’s a time for family members who live apart try to be together. The preparations and celebrations used to be spread over months but nowadays the holiday is much shorter. However, there is great excitement building up well before Tet. Streets are decorated with colored lights and red banners. Shops are full of goods. People buy gifts, clean and decorate their houses and cook traditional foods.
On the first days of Tet, people try to be nice and polite to others. They visit their relatives or friends and exchange New Year’s wishes. Children receive the “lucky money” inside red envelopes. Many people go to pagoda to pray for a happy new year for themselves and their family. Tet is really a time of fun and festivals throughout the country.
