    Now I 'm talking about the most important festival in my country, it's Tet. It is held every year in the country. It's held in the first day of lunar month. It's lasted for about 7 days. This festival is held in the spring, and this festival is a time for who are far away from home to return to their homeland as well as their families. Before Tet, everybody cleans their house, goes to the market or supermarket, and the most important thing that is indispensable is the peach tree, kumquat, apricot tree and Chung cake. On the first 3 days, everyone will go to celebrate the festival, and the children will get lucky money. On Tet, some places organize small festival. I think this is truly the most important festival because some people far from their hometown long time so they very miss their family. Tet is the day that they will comeback home to reunite with thier family.
