Tet holiday is a 
really special time in Vietnam. Other words to call it are Lunar New Year. Red is symbolic for lucky. So when we have Tet, everybody decorated their house really beautiful with red color, apricot blossom, and Peach blossom. “Banh chung”is one kind of food that cannot be indispensable when Tet come. Banh chung was made from sticky rice from the outside. Inside it have pork and green peas. Not only banh chung, we have more special food for Tet like jam (Gin
gerjam, Sugar-preserved lotus seeds, Sugar-coated groundnuts), melon seed, pickled scallion heads, etc. In Tet, we have a lot of activities like go to grandparents, kindred house to wish them a Happy New Year, older people have to give younger people or children lucky money (in Vietnamese it calls “Tien li xi”.), play card, bingo, etc. All of that are special culture, activities and food when Vietnamese have Tet.
