I often go to Times Square with my parents to welcome the New Year. When the clock strikes midnight, colourful fireworks light up the sky. Everybody cheers and sings.
On New Year's Day, we dress beautifully and go to our grandparents' houses. We wish them Happy New Year and they give us lucky money. Then we go out and have a day full of fun.
I learn some customs about Tet from my parents. People give rice to wish for enough food and buy salt to wish for good luck. Dogs are lucky animals but cats are not. A cat's cry sounds like "poor" in Vietnamese.
