Bài Nói Tet Holidays.docx

Talking about Vietnamese holidays, I believe the Lunar New Year will always be
the first to pop up in everyone’s mind. More than any other occasion, it is the most
expected annual event by the Vietnamese everywhere in the world.

The official Lunar New Year or Tet holiday is celebrated from the 31st of
December till the third of January according to the Lunar calendar. Nonetheless,
the break is often extended to five or seven days later.

Every year at this festival, people across the nation will come back to their
hometowns and celebrate the occasion with their families and friends

Some common plans include cleaning and decorating the house, buying new
clothes, making Banh Chung, making offers for the ancestors, giving out “lucky
money”, visiting temples and pagodas… and so on.

Everyone is looking forward to the Tet holidays. Especially, for children, 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.

Even though the modern lifestyle and the fast pace of life are shortening the Lunar
New Year holiday, I do not think it will ever disappear as its significance is far too
great in every Vietnamese’s heart.

Hết.
