Happy Vietnamese New Year!! :)


Happy Vietnamese New Year! :)

Today is a very important celebration in my culture. Vietnamese New Year is a 3 days event where we celebrate the new year! During this time, family members come together to celebrate the new found holidays. Children pay respect to their elders by wishing their family members a properous new year! And Elders show their appreciating by given children good luck money. This is the time of year were young girls and boy wear their new clothes to welcome the luck of the new year!

Most importantly, this is the time where we clean our houses and pay our respect to our ancestor. My mom cook and my dad clean. We burn incents to pray to our ancestor. We thank them for protecting us in the past year and hope they will continue to watch over us for this year to come. My family have celebrated this holidays for generations already. This tradition is enrooted in our culture and it has been around since my ancestor was alive. And now, my family continue this gracious tradition.

I wish you all luck for this new year! May you all find good health and have a prosperous new year! :)
