Vietnamese New Year: Well Wishes For Friends & Family

Celebrations, particularly important celebrations, happen all over this little planet we call home. These celebrations vary as well from birthday celebrations to anniversaries to holidays and many, many more you can think of. Anyhoo, one of the very important celebrations that many people celebrate is the New Year. And New Year celebrations are quite special and different for a lot of people.

For example, in Vietnam, the most important celebration is the Vietnamese New Year, also known as Tết. By the way, Tết is short for Tết Nguyên Đán which means Festival of the first day. The festival is usually celebrated at the same time as the Chinese New Year. It is an event celebrated with friends, family, and many more loved ones. And in Vietnamese culture, celebrating Tết isn’t just about food and reunions and traditions. Because Tết is about looking forward to a new, refreshing, happier, brighter future.
