My favorite festival is Tet holiday. It takes place from the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar until at least the third day. Every time Tet comes, my whole family cleans the house together, everyone is busy to prepare everything for Tet. My sister and I are extremely excited to buy new clothes for Tet. When it comes to Tet, we can't help but mention Chung cake - a specialty of Tet. Every year, my mother cooks a lot of delicious dishes such as Vietnamese sausage, sticky rice and jam to worship ancestral grandparents. The night of the 30th is New Year's Eve, which always makes me very emotional because it is the most sacred moment of the year, the whole family waits for the moment of New Year's Eve and gives each other wishes for health and happiness for the coming year. On the 1st of the Lunar New Year, we are often taken by our parents to celebrate the age of our grandparents, and then the aunts, uncles and uncles in the family. Tet is really the most special and sacred days in the year. It is an opportunity for the whole family to have a chance to gather and have fun together, an opportunity for everyone to wear new clothes, to close all the unlucky sorrows of the old year and welcome a new year. I love Tet in my hometown.

The full moon of August, in my hometown, is very beautiful, the moon is big and round, bright. On that afternoon, my mother prepared a tray of five fruits including bananas, grapefruits, watermelons, tangerines, persimmons, and apples that were taken care of, beautifully trimmed. At 7 o'clock in the evening, I heard the music "Tung Dinh Dinh ... Tung Tung Tung Dinh Dinh", the legendary song of my childhood, I and my friends in the neighborhood hurriedly rushed to the village's cultural house. Everyone carries a lantern of all colors and shapes, be it a fish, a star, or a lantern. When we got there, we sat in a row, watching a few musical performances prepared by the neighborhood, and then went up to receive the reward, even though it was only a pen, candy, notebook, with a few cakes, but we feel very happy. After receiving the lights, I rushed home to break the feast, my mother lowered the tray of five fruits, my father used a knife to cut two cakes. The whole family sat together and ate cake . The atmosphere was lively and happy. I hope my family will always have warm reunions like this.

Tet is a particularly important holiday in Vietnam. Tet is also a time for family members to gather and reunite after a year of hard work.  In the joyful and bustling atmosphere of Tet, families rush to prepare, buy new things, and renovate their houses.  And indispensable is the beauty of the branches of Mai flower, Peach or Kumquat tree.  At the moment of New Year's Eve, we watch the "Tao Quan" program and sing "Happy New Year" together.  On the first days of the new year, people often visit their relatives to wish a happy and peaceful new year.  At that time, adults always give lucky money to children for good luck.  There are also families who go to pagodas to pray for their loved ones' well-being.  Because of these sacred and meaningful things, for generations, Vietnamese people have always considered Tet as an indispensable part of life.  Me too, I love Tet very much.

I was born and raised in a rural area that has become more modern, but the best aspects of the past remain, particularly the atmosphere and the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is my favorite. Besides the Tet holiday, the Mid-Autumn festival is one of the most famous festivals and it is also a traditional celebration for Vietnamese children. In the weeks before this event, there are many groups of lion dancers practicing on the streets. Moon-cake stores appear everywhere and many shops start showing toys, lanterns and colourful masks. The most popular lantern is a star made with red cellophane. On the night of the full moon, the 15th August of the lunar calendar, children with their brightly lit lanterns will gather, deal out cakes and fruits. Excitement peaks when drumbeats ring out and the lion appears, playing with the children. They will then form raucous processions and tour their neighbourhoods singing songs. On the eve of Mid-autumn, I always participate in the parade in my neighborhood. It is extremely fun and memorable.

During the festival, there are activities such as: offering incense for good luck; games: sailing, climbing; arts: Cheo singing, folk singing, dancing.

Thinking of a traditional festival in Vietnam.The festival most interesting to me is buffalo fighting festival, buffalo fighting festival in Do Son, Hai Phong. The festival attracts tourists worldwide to come and enjoy the activities. Buffalo fighting festival is annually and officially operated on 9th August in Vietnamese Lunar calender. Buffalo must be carefully cared for about a year. All buffaloes are male buffalo, hook fur, copper skin, thick back and extremely healthy. The first have a flag dance, very interesting. But the most enjoyable is the buffalo fighting. The buffalo were taken out by the festival organizer and started fighting. But, after participating in the competition, all buffaloes will be slaughtered. This activity takes place with the desire that people have a warm season, can exploit many fish and shrimp, healthy people and brings them safe voyages. So, I feel the festival very impression.

In a year, holidays play a very important role, but for me, my favorite holiday is Christmas. Christmas is celebrated to remember the day Jesus was born. Christmas is celebrated all over the world, it is celebrated on October 25 every year. A few days before, every family decorated the tree and made gift boxes to welcome this year-end holiday. In the street, hang a lot of colorful lights and play Christmas songs. Especially on this day in Vietnam, the church is beautifully decorated with large pine trees and rock caves. For my family on this day, adults will pretend to be Santa Claus to give gifts to children in the family. And then my family sat together and talked and went to church to pray for a healthy and happy coming year. After going to church with my family, I went out with my friends and took pictures. Thus ended a very merry and happy Christmas day. It can be said that Christmas for me is a very meaningful day of the year and when everyone gathers together.
