Since Tet - Vietnamese Lunar New Year - has been, for longer than anyone could remember, among the most important traditional festivals of our country, it's celebration tends to be relatively well-prepared and divers in families. I myself, more than reasonably, has a lot to do too with this day knocking on my very door. The first thing we do as the end of year is approaching, is to finish all our current works in the passing year, cause it gives us a feeling of completion, and that we're off to a fresh start the moment our New Year comes. For instant, I would clean up my room (which I rarely do) and finish all my school works (which I also rarely do). Besides that, a lot like in Western countries, where you ornament your home while longing for important days such as Noel or New Years Eve, Vietnamese people decorates ours. Normally I would help out by going to the Tet market - as you can guess, that market is only open at Tet, which is a silly thing in my opinion - and buy all the best decorations i can find. I'd also buy a lot of candies, cookies and jellies to eat during the festival and to give away, like when people buy Turkey for Thanksgiving. Additionally, some traditional families can make Banh Chung (sticky rice cake) together at home and enjoy themselves while the cake is being cooked. Mine, well, however, of course, doesn't. I have to say, these preparations, along side with many many others, are those that has made Tet one of the most beautiful and enjoyable festival we have annually.
