Before Tet holiday, there are lots of things to do. People from places go back to their hometown, gather with their family. They clean up the house, decorate it with flowers, plants and other kinds of decorations. Then parties are held everywhere to celebrate the end of the year. Food preparation is also conducted at this time of the year. Feasts will be prepared and presented to the altar. This is a very busy time for many people in the year. On Tet, some people go to the pagodas to pray and complete the ritual ceremonies of the year. People visit relatives' house and give best wishes. I enjoy the atmosphere a lot. I am looking forward to Tet because I receive some lucky money.
