There are many festivals in Vietnam but surely everyone knows, Tet is the most important festival. It is celebrated on the 1st day of the 1st lunar month. On Tet, everyone in the family will gather, eat and have fun together. Before Tet, people will go shopping, they buy flowers, decorations and food. In the evening, everyone will make banh chung, a traditional Vietnamese dish. On Tet, they will eat banh chung together and visit relatives together. And most especially, kids like us will receive lucky money. In the evening, we can watch colorful fireworks in the sky. I love Tet very much, every year, I look forward to Tet.

Today I’m going to tell you about one of the biggest, oldest traditional festival and has the widest popular range in Vietnam, which is Tet Holiday.

Tet marks (=celebrates) the arrival of spring and is the most important celebration in Vietnamese culture and it has the date falling in (which falls in) = takes place around late January or early February according to the Lunar Calendar.

Tết is also an occasion for family reunions. When Tet comes around the corner, most Vietnamese people return to their families to visit their family members, to worship at the family altar or visit the graves of their ancestors in their homeland as a sign of respect.

Many Vietnamese people prepare for Tet by cooking special holiday food which includes giò, xôi, canh măng anh banh chung - an indispensable (= absolutely necessary) dish that is tightly packed sticky with meat and mung beans filling, wrapped in banana leaves

Traditionally, every household is decorated by yellow apricot blossoms (hoa mai) in the central and the southern parts of Vietnam; or peach blossoms (hoa đào) in the northern part.

Many customs are practiced around Tet. Children often receive a red envelope containing money from their elders after giving them traditional Tet greetings. During Tet days people also visit relatives and friends to wish them all a happy new year. Local pagodas are popular spots as well, as people go there to wish for a better year to come for their families.

Tet holiday is the only occasion that people that people start forgetting about the troubles of the past year and hope for a better upcoming year.

We all know: a festival is a cultural event organized communally. There are a lot of festivals all over the world, one of them is Halloween. "Halloween" is the short form of "All Hallows' Evening", it's held in the last day of October, from the afternoon till 12 p.m. In a Halloween festival, there are many activities, such as: trick-or-treat, disguising as a zombie, carving a pumpkin, watching films or telling horror stories. The most special activity is trick-or-treat. In this activity, the children will come and knock their neighbors' doors in order to get sweet candies. When the children do so, they have to ask the house's owner: "Trick or treat?" because it is Halloween's longstanding culture. Halloween is really interesting, the people who take part in this festival feel very happy and excited because of the jokes. Halloween is such an awesome festival.

King Hung Temple Festival is a traditional festival that is considered the national festival in Vietnam. The festival commemorates the merit of the first King of Vietnam - Hung Kings. It's an occasion for every Vietnamese to remember their origin and express their respect as well as gratitude to the ancestors of Vietnamese people. It is from 8th to 11th of the third lunar month in Phu Tho Province. This festival is impressive because there are many people joining it. The main activities are: offering to Hung Kings, bamboo swings, Lion dances, wrestling and xoan singing performances. I like this festival very much because it is so meaningful and I also like its joyfulness. Joining the pilgrimage to the ancestral land of King Hung Temple these days has become a beautiful tradition of Vietnamese people.
