Festivals are spices of life. They add charm and colour to our daily life. They break the monotony of life. That is why, people eagerly wait for festivals and spend so much of money and time in celebrating various festivals. India is a land of various religions, cultures and races, each having a variety of festivals of their own. Holi, Dussehra, Diwali, Maha Shivaratri, Easter, Christmas, Id-ul-Fitr, Muharram, etc. are the major festivals of India. Among these Christmas is one of the most joyful festivals of the world.

Generally, Christmas is celebrated on December 25th all over the world. It is a celebration of the remembrance of the birth of Jesus Christ who is supposed to be the saviour and redeemer of the world.

ADVERTISEMENTS:

Christians believe that Jesus Christ was born in a manger at Bethlehem in Israel about two thousand years ago. That event is remembered on this day. Christians make Christmas cribs in resemblance of Bethlehem manger and adorn it with decorated Christmas trees, lighted lamps and stars.

A significant aspect of Christmas is the greetings and wishes which are sent to friends, relatives and well-wishers. Christmas cards have become so universal that today men of all religion and caste send them to their friends and relatives. No other festival can claim such a trend. Thus, it is a festival for all the people of the world. On this day people exchange greetings and share meals.

For Vietnamese, Lunar New year is the most important festival of a year because it is the beginning of a year. If we have a good beginning throughout first three days of year, we will have much luck during that year. Therefore, the activity of welcoming Tet festival is celebrated carefully in order to avoid unfortunate mistakes. And according to each area of the country, Vietnamese have different ways. Although I am a Vietnamese, I don’t know how families in other parts of my country welcome Tet holiday. My family, an age –old Southern family, usually celebrates Tet as this following way. Tet holiday begins on twenty-ninth of December. We start on decorating our house and preparing food for tet holiday. My father and I are responsible for tidying up our house. Quickly, the house becomes splendid with a very beautiful apricot blossom full of sweet-smelling blooming flowers in the middle of living room. On the branches, we also put some lovely greeting cards which make the tree more beautiful. When we finish our duties, my mother and sister also finish cooking. The kitchen is now full of delicious dishes whose smell float into the air. We usually keep many kinds of food in our kitchen in New Year festival. At lunch, we prepare a big feast to donate the ancestors. At the New Year‘s Eve, our family usually gather together. We watch television or play some traditional games. Until the clock strikes twelve tones to signal the moment of a new year, we donate the ancestors again. Then, my sister and I say “happy new year” to my parents and get lucky money from them. Next, we have a big meal to welcome New Year. Although all of us say nothing about our senses at that time, I know every body is cheerful and hopes for a lucky year. In three Tet days, we are usually well-dress to visit our relatives, teachers. We bring offerings to sacrifice ancestral altars, congratulate the olds on advancing in years and say New Year’s greetings to the others. Although we all are quite tired in these days, we are really joyful. Thanks to Tet holiday, we become closer and closer. Tet festival is very significant for Vietnamese, and these are all of my Tet holiday. I hope every year we have three great Tet days so that we have an extremely smooth year.

Hello, JK!

How are you now? Do you miss me? I'm Hung, I very miss you so I write this letter for you to know your health and tell you about a festival I have just attended.

As you know, there are many different and interesting festivals around the world such as Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, Valentine's day and so on. But for me Tet holiday is the best festival I have attended because of many reasons.

I joined Tet holiday some weeks ago. I and my family prepared a lot of things before Tet. We cleaned our house clearly, decorated it with lót of colourful flowers and lights. My mother and I also cooked banh chung - a traditional cake of Vietnamese together. She taught me how to cook and wrap it. It was a wonderful time for me. Tet is a time for all family members get together and have dinner. At Tet, my mother bought me many new and beautiful clothes. I very loved it! On the first day of Tet, we went to the pagoda and visited our relatives. I got lucky money from adults. This is the best thing I like on Tet holiday. My family took me to many places to play. What a wonderful memory!

How about you? What festival do you like best? Let's write me soon. I am looking forward to receiving your letter.

Love you JK,

Hung
