Hello i would like to know about Vietnamese New Years. Their customs, traditions, stuff like that. thank you!
in my family: everyone wakes up in the morning and we had to go down stairs wish our parents a happy new year .. n good health n thanks them for all the hard work they raise us ,etc.... and of course they give money in red envelope. kekek... if elders come to my house we do the same thing..
help out with all the cleaning before new year eat dinner together with all family member at the table do all the praying, flowers, and food offering to the ancestors morning .. knee down to wish your grand/parents happy new year and get your envelope ..firecracker, follow by temple, visit relatives, attend parade, hang with friends/family until the late hours. no shower the first day, no cleaning until the fourth day, visit your ancestor tombstone on the 7th day .. and there certain food you gotta eat and avoid during the new year too ... don't remember them all.
Sorry but NO, Vietnamese NY is different from Chinese NY .. it's only the same if you're from Chinese descent.
