Tết is coming to Vietnamese and all Asian-to-The-East people. December 23rd by the moon is event which vietnamese citizens celebrates and farewell to their “kitchen fairy” flying up to the heaven and reporting the entire of human achievements and good things they have done to the Head of Fairyman.
Tết is the best time for kids because of new clothes, delicious food and even more important is Lucky money. Lunar new year holiday is the longest holiday in Vietnam when adults do not need to go to work and children do not need to go to school. For a child, living without studying and excercises is as in the heaven. At least, for me it is the truth ^^
However, While Tết in children’s mind is always beautiful moments, Tết from parents’ slice is a kind of burden about financials. Someone said Tết is reunion, sharing but it is a real distress in advanced.
Anyway, even though you are at any age, Tết always shows the memorable shade of life that would have never been missed.
