traditional foods, buying gifts, and making other preparations. Certain items deemed to be bought or
made are banh chung, dried watermelon seeds, tea, dried sausages, fruit (fresh and candied), ornamental
plants and flowers. Red and yellow flowers are ideal as they make the house more welcoming. On the
New Year's days, only good comments and wishes can be expressed. Children receive their Ii xi (or red
envelopes with lucky money inside). People make a visit to family members, neighbors, and close
friends. And people who live apart from their family try to get together on these days. Clearly enough,
