At Tet, we spend time on visiting our relatives, friends, colleagues and go to pagodas or temples to pray health, happiness ans success for our families. When coming others’ houses or meeting anybody at Tet, we usually wish each other health, happiness, success and many good things. Children are the happiest at Tet. They are usually received presents, especially little red envelopes with money in as New Year’s Wishes, which people believe that will bring good things to children in the new year.
People usually say “the First Day is Father’s Tet, the Second Day is Mother’s Tet and the Third Day is Teacher’s Tet”. On the First Day morning (New Year Day), after finishing what we have to do in our houses , we go to our parents house to give New Year’s greeting. People who are married manage to visit their parents on the husband’s side on the First Day, and then their parents on the wife’s side on the next day. I usually spend the Third Day to visit my teachers. Tet is time to hold get-together parties.
