Tet is a traditional holiday of our country Vietnam. The season of Tet occurs around the beginning of January and end of February. The meaning of Tet is ending old year and welcoming a new year. Tet holiday is very special for Vietnamese families to reunite. At that time, all the family members try to come back their homes and get together to prepare for Tet. Moreover, they will buy new clothes and clean their house. A branch of Mai flower or a Kumquat tree can't be absent. They bring a fresh atmosphere to the house. We decorate the ancestral altar with a tray full of fruits and flowers. Some typical foods are sweets, coconut jam, candied fruits, lemon seeds, rice cake, stew pork with eggs. A traditional and special food on Tet holiday is sticky rice cake. Tet meal is more delicious than ours every day. On Tet holiday, people have many typical activities. Young persons take part in the traditional games such as: tug, cooking rice, cock fighting, watching lion dance. Many people visit relatives to wish a happy new year. Adults will give lucky money for children. Women like going to the pagoda to wish good things will come to their families. In my opinion, I like cozy and fresh Tet's atmosphere. All family's members talk together about a happy new year. I can hang out with my friend and don't worry about any thing. " Tet" holiday is always in Vietnamese's heart.

There are a lot of festivals in Vietnam but I like Tet best. Tet is a traditional festival in Vietnam. It's the most important celebration for Vietnamese people. It's time for all family members to gather. It takes place in late January and early February. It is held in every Vietnamese family. People often spend the Tet festival with their families.

   There are a lot of activities at Tet. Before Tet, Vietnamese people often clean and decorate their houses. Many people also decorate their houses with beautiful peach blossoms and apricot blossoms. We often buy some things such as flowers, food, new clothes... and make Chung cake, special food with family.

   During Tet, we go to the pagodas to pray for a good year with family, we visit relatives and get lucky money. The children are very excited about Tet.

   I think, Tet festival is very interesting and traditional and I like Tet so much. I hope that this traditional festival will be maintained.
