Preparation for Tet, Vietnamese New Year, starts two or three months before
the actual celebrations. People try to pay off their debts in advance so that they
can be debt-free on Tet. Parents buy new clothes for their children so that the
children can wear them when Tet arrives.
In the days leading up to Tet, the streets and market are full of people.
Everyone is busy buying food, clothes, and decorating for their house. Each
family prepares some special foods for the holiday. Vietnamese families usually
have a family altar to pay respect to their ancestors. During Tet the altar is
thoroughly cleaned and new offerings are placed there.
On New Year’s Eve, each home is thoroughly cleaned and decorated with
flowers and offerings for ancestors by the night before Tet. Many people stay up
until midnight to welcome the New Year or go to the pagoda to pray for luck,
prosperity, and happiness. In the morning, actual Tet celebrations begin. The
first day of Tet is reserved for the nuclear family. In big cities, the streets are
usually empty as most people stay at home or leave the city to visit their close
relatives in the countryside. Usually, children dress their new clothes and give
their elders the traditional Tet greetings before receiving the lucky money.
