If you ask me about the famous festival in Vietnam, I will definitely talk about Tet

holiday which just also knowledge Lunar new year holiday in Vietnam. It usually
occur at the end of January and last for three days. Tet holiday in Vietnam is
usually in honor of the departure of the previous year and an occasion to welcome
the new year with many blessings. On Tet holiday, we will have family unions to
catch up with each other. Besides, some families enjoy this festival by preparing
traditional food such as Vietnamese square cake, dried candied fruit, braised pork
and eggs, etc, and decorating the house with parallel sentences and peach or apricot
blossoms. Especially, for children I think they look forward to Tet holiday because
they can receive lucky money from adults as a way to give them wishes for the
new year. For adults, it is an occasion on which they are able to do the spring
cleaning and make …….. food to worship the ancestors. I would say in this days
and age, Tet has lost its original spirit and most adults treat it as a normal holiday
in which they can have 2 weeks off to blow off some steam and release stress.
However, to me, Tet holiday is still a distinct festival of Vietnam. Whenever this
holiday comes, I feel a strong sense of belonging because it reminds me of how
diverse our culture can be with different rituals and food. Moreover, I think if Tet
holiday didn’t exist, many family members would drift apart due to the hustle and
bustle of life. However, since we have Tet, everyone will have at least one or two
days to have family gatherings and ……. the bond with other members.
