In Vietnam the new year festival is called Tet Nguyen Dan, or Tet for short, and begins between January 21st and February 19th. Many people in Vietnam buy a carp fish and let it go free in a river or pond. Like some Europeans, the Vietnamese also believe in first-footing. In the United States, most people ring in New Year's by getting together with family and friends. On New Year's Day, Americans have parades and cookouts and watch football.
Many people also make resolutions, vowing to improve some part of their lives during the year.
However you celebrate New Year's is a good time to reflect on the past and plan for the future. Annie's Home Page. All Rights Reserved. I thank the Lord for graphics artists without them these pages would not be the same. Please visit Annie's List of Great Graphics Spots .
