Tet is a national and family festival. It is an occasion for every Vietnamese to have a good time while thinking about the last year and the next year. At Tet, spring fairs are organized, streets and public buildings are brightly decorated and almost all shops are crowded with people shopping for Tet. At home, every is tidied, special food is cooked, offerings of food, fresh water, flowers and betel are made on the family altar with burning joss- sticks scenting the air. First-footing is made when the lucky visitor comes and children are given lucky money wrapped in a red tiny envelope. Tet is also a time for peace and love. During Tet, children often behave well and friends, relatives and neighbors give each other best wishes for the new year.

There are a lot of festivals in Viet Nam such as boat  racing,buffalo-fighting,folk song,singing,ect....but I like the Mid-Autumn Festival most.The Mid-Autumn Festival like the Thanksgiving.Families get together.It usually comes on September or October.On that day families eat a big dinner.A lot of families eat their dinner outside in the open air and they eat mooncakes after dinner.Their are many different kinds of mooncakes.They are small round cakes with meat,eggs,nuts or something streets inside.They are really delicious.There are also parades along the streets with dancing and drumming on that day.All children are excited to see these performances.I love the Mid-Autumn Festival .I like looking at the moon on that day because the moon looks brighter and rounder.
