As another traditional nation in the world, The Lunar New Year is the biggest festival in Viet Nam. This is an important moment of the year, beginning on 1st January by the Lunar Calendar. Generally, in Vietnam people have 5 days – 10 days off to spend their day with family after 1 year working hard.

My family is a traditional family in Viet Nam, every Tet comes to make the air of house to become exciting, exactly beginning on 23rd Tet as The Kitchen Guardians. Everyone is eager for Tet, preparing to decorate the house, and buy some new furniture, and pick up me to go back home. After cleaning house, generally on 27th, my parent will prepare to make Chung cake (square glutinous rice cake), lean pork paste, pickled onion,…I and Mom go to the market to buy many things for Tet such as candy, cake, roasted watermelon seeds, dried candied fruits, peach blossom,…

24 years passed with the warm Tet with the family, welcome to New Year’s Eve together at 0:00 o’clock, and listening to firework on the sky together. They have left many memories unforgettable. And, I don’t dare to image when I marry that won’t welcome to Tet with my parent, my brother together. But, no matter, I will save and respect the beautiful memories with my family, and never forget them.

Once a year passed, I will welcome a new Tet, and my parent will grow up every day, I don’t look forward to anything than my parent’s health, wishing my family is always happy. That’s enough! Tet means so much to me, and you?
