Preparation for Tet, Vietnamese New Year, starts two or three months before the
actual celebrations. People try to pay off their debts in advance so that they can be
debt-free on Tet. Parents buy new clothes for their children so that the children can
wear them when Tet arrives. Because a lot of commercial activities will cease during
the celebrations people try to stock up on supplies as much as possible.
In the days leading up to Tet, the streets and market are full of people. Everyone is
busy buying food, clothes, and decorating for their house. Each family prepares some
special foods for the holiday. Those who live far away from home will try to come
home to celebrate Tet with their family. Vietnamese families usually have a family
altar to pay respect to their ancestors. During Tet the altar is thoroughly cleaned and
new offerings are placed there.
On New Year’s Eve, each home is thoroughly cleaned and decorated with flowers
and offerings for ancestors by the night before Tet. Many people stay up until
midnight to welcome the New Year or go to the pagoda to pray for luck, prosperity,
and happiness.
In the morning, actual Tet celebrations begin. The first day of Tet is reserved for
the nuclear family. In big cities, the streets are usually empty as most people stay at
home or leave the city to visit their close relatives in the countryside. Usually, children
dress their new clothes and give their elders the traditional Tet greetings before
receiving the lucky money.
