Vietnamese Holidays

In Vietnam, people celebrate a lot of holidays but to me, these are my favorite holidays.

Tet is the Vietnamese New Year. It’s the same time with Chinese New Year on the lunar calendar. Tet is a holiday is to express there respect to the ancestor that came before them and to welcome the new year. Moreover in the past, Tet was essential as it provide one of few long breaks between the harvesting of the crops and sowing of the next one. We can imagine Tet as a combination of Christmas and New Year: every family will get together to have big meals, decorate Tet trees and eat Tet food but to welcome the new year.

In an effort to get rid of the bad luck from the old year, people spend a few days cleaning and decorating the house with colorful flowers and five kind of fruit.

The Vietnamese believe the color Red and Yellow will bring them a good fortune so you will see a lot of those colors around Tet time. Everybody, especially children buy new clothes on the first day of Tet.

The Gifts From The Trees

In a peaceful forest, there is a long forgotten tribe, the Wukutuka. Every year, the Wukutuka has a feast to celebrate what the gods have given them and how much the trees have granted the tribe. Every year the tradition is for the grateful chief to go into the woods to cut a piece of the oldest tree of the forest and add it to the Ball Of Wisdom. He says a prayer to God to ask for luck and more wisdom for the year. Then he takes his hand and places it on the ball to say thank you.
