Vietnam’s New Year is celebrated according to the Lunar calendar. It is officially
known as Tet Nguyen Dan, or Tet. It begins between January twenty-first and February
nineteen. The exact date changes from year to year. Vietnamese people usually make
preparations for the holiday several weeks beforehand. They tidy their houses, cook
special food, clean and made offerings on the family altars. On the New Year’s Eve,
people sit up to midnight to see the New Year in, then they put on new clothes and give
one another the greetings of the season. Tet lasts ten days. The first three days are the
most important. Vietnamese people believe that how people act during those days will
influence the whole year. As a result, they make every effort to avoid arguments and
smile as much as possible.
