In my opinion,the best time in a year is the Lunar New Year- Tet

Tet can be divided into three periods, known as Tất Niên, Giao Thừa and Tân Niên Now, I will tell the details of these periods

Tất Niên may start from the twenty third to the twenty ninth of

December(according to the Lunar Calendar) This is the time for everyone even though lives far away return home to celebrate Tet with their family

Furthermore this is the chance for everyone cleans and decorate its house About me, I and my brother must spend about three days getting my house clean and tidy I am always bored with this but I must Poor me

Giao Thừa starts at midnight of the thirtieth of December to the first of January I really like this moment When I see the Fireworks is shot into the sky, I can enjoy the most beautiful scenic in my life At that time, I wish all members in my family and the others live in good condition and friendly

Tân Niên begins from the first and can last to the tenth of January I can receive red envelopes containing money from the elder such as my grand parents, my parents, my brother, etc My family ,my uncle's family and my aunt's family all return to Binh Duong to visit our relatives This is a great chance for us to know each other and play games Moreover, we go to pagodas to pray for a better living.The most thing I like is there are a lot of parties celebrated and I can enjoy the delicious foods

Throughout the year, there are many celebrations such as: christmas, national day, mid-fall festival But the celebration

which is the most important for Vietnamese people is Tet holiday At this special holiday my family usually make preparations such as: tidying our house, cleaning everything, doing the shoping and cooking special food- especially is sticky rice cakes
