One of the most important public holidays in my country is Ted holidays, which is also known as the Lunar New Year. It’s a special occasion to celebrate the beginning of a new year according to the lunar calendar. Ted usually takes place in late January or early February, depending on the year. People often have about a week from work or school and it’s the longest holiday of the year in Vietnam. During this, people clean and decorate their houses, buy new clothes, and prepare traditional food like chink eggs and spring rolls on New years ever. Families rather together watch, fight, work and wish each other good luck for the coming years. Children often receive lucky money in rest envelopes. From Adal, Wake is one of the most exciting parts for them. I personally love test because it’s time for family reunion. Everyone seems happier and more relaxed and the streets are full of colors and festive decorations. Also we don’t have to worry about school work during that week. Week is red. The only thing I dislike is that everything is closed. So it’s hard to hang out with friends. Overall, that is meaningful holidays. That brings people closer and gives us a fresh start for the new year.

One of the most important public holidays in my country is Tet holidays, which is also known as the Lunar New Year. It's a special occasion to celebrate the beginning of a new year according to the lunar calendar. Tet usually takes place in late January or early February, depending on the year. People often have about a week off from work or school, and it's the longest holiday of the year in Vietnam. During this time, people clean and decorate their houses, buy new clothes, and prepare traditional food like boiled eggs and spring rolls on New Year's Eve. Families gather together to watch fireworks, work, and wish each other good luck for the coming year. Children often receive lucky money in red envelopes. For them, receiving this money is one of the most exciting parts. I personally love Tet because it's a time for family reunion. Everyone seems happier and more relaxed, and the streets are full of colors and festive decorations. Also, we don't have to worry about schoolwork during that week. The only thing I dislike is that everything is closed, so it's hard to hang out with friends. Overall, it is a meaningful holiday that brings people closer and gives us a fresh start for the new year.
