TET'S HOLIDAY!

Have you ever enjoyed Tet’s holiday in Viet Nam? Tet is a biggest holiday in my country that welcome the New year. It often keeps about 7 days, but it just have 3-4 main days.

My family prepared a lot of new things in the days before Tet. First, I and my sister came back to my house because we studied university in a big city which is far from my hometown. After that, I and my mother went to market to buy a lot of new things, such as: clothes, food, flowers, jam, cake….My sister and my younger brother painted and cleaned up my house. My father cut the trees, and decorated my house beautifully. I love the warm environment in these days. We made the cake and talked about something together. These are some special food that we often eat on Tet’s holiday: banh chung, banh day, banh tet.

In the New year’s Eve, we went to center city to observe the flower market and firework. It is very beautiful and interesting.
In the first day of Tet, we went to our relatives’ house to wish longevity, luck and happiness to them. I and my younger brother received lucky money from my grandfather, my grandmother, my uncle and my aunt. We also lighted the josses to honor our ancestor. After that, we would go to pagoda so that wishing a new year with happiness, luck and peace.

The second day was a day when I went to my teacher’s house with my friend. We visited our teacher, have lunch together and have some fun activities. We often went to the beach near our house and enjoy that air.

The third and the fourth day, I and my siblings stayed home so that my parents could
visit relatives who have lived far from my house. After these days, I and my siblings would travel some beautiful places in my country. It is the most wonderful time on Tet’s holiday.hi.

This is some activities that the people in my country often do on Tet’s holiday. I think that every country has different cultures and the way of living; so it has different way to celebrate New Year. How about New Year in your country? If you have any opportunities to come my country, don’t miss Tet’s holiday in my country.
