Vietnam`s New Year is celebrated according to the Lunar calendar. It is officially known as Tet Nguyen Dan, or Tet. The Lunar New Year begins between January twenty-first and February the nineteen. The exact date changes from year to year. Vietnamese people usually make preparations for the holiday several weeks beforehand. They tidy their houses, cook special food, clean and make offerings on the family altars. On the New Year`s Eve, people sit up to midnight because they want to see New Year in. Then, they put on new clothes and give one another the greetings of the season. Tet lasts ten days. The first three days are the most important.
