Dear _______
I would like to introduce a special native occasion in my country, which is called “Tet” holiday, so that you can understand more about our tradition.
Tet often begins in late-January and ends in early-February. With the meaning of seeing the old year off and welcoming the New Year, Tet becomes a special occasion of reunion for Vietnamese families. At that time, all family members try to come back to their home and get together to make such preparations for Tet as buying new clothes and cleaning their house. A branch of apricot blossoms or a Kumquat tree is indispensable decoration for every family in these days. They seem like a fresh air to the house. We display a tray full of fruits and vases of flowers on the ancestral altar. Some typical Tet’s food are sweets, coconut jam, fruit candies, melon seeds, stew pork with eggs, and especially sticky rice cake. Tet meals are usually bigger and more delicious than our daily ones.
On Tet holiday, people have many recreational activities. Many people visit relatives to wish a happy new year. Adults will give lucky money to children. Women like to go to the pagoda to wish good things for their family.
If you have time, please visit Vietnam at Tet period to enjoy the best time here.
Sincerely
