VIETNAMESE LUNAR NEW YEAR
By Santa Fe Relocation Services
As Vietnam prepares for Tết (also known as
the Lunar New Year), we offer you some
insight on what Tết is all about and what you
should expect. By the end of this packet,
you will be well prepared on the history and
traditions of Tết, what to be cautious about
during Tết, how to say a few Tết phrases in
Vietnamese, where all of the Tết festivities
are taking place and what businesses will be
open during Tết.
Please Enjoy!
What is Tết?
Tết is the most important festival of the
Vietnamese calendar. It marks the
beginning of the Lunar New Year and a time
to make a new start. Festivities occur
throughout the country, but this is a family
holiday and many of the traditions of
observance occur in the home. The official
holiday lasts four days, and celebrations
continue for at least the first week of the
New Year.
According to the Chinese Zodiac, which
consists of 12 animal signs, 2015 is the year
of the Goat, the eighth zodiac sign. Each
zodiac sign is associated with one of five
elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and

IN THIS ISSUE
Earth. It is theorized that a person’s
characteristics are decided by their birth
year’s zodiac animal sign and element. The
year of 2015 is “At Mui” or ‘Wood Goat’ and
“At” stands for the wood element. People
born in the year of the goat (1931, 1943,
1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, 2015) are
very serene and calm. The Wood Goat is
amicable, gentle and compassionate. This
year Tết begins on February 18th and ends
on February 21st.
Before Tết
Vietnamese families prepare their homes for
the coming of the prosperous New Year by
cleaning up and polishing their silver, among
other tasks. Preparations begin about ten
days before the New Year. Homes are
cleaned out in the hopes of getting rid of the
past year's bad luck and some families go
so far as to repaint their entire home’s
exterior. It also is believed to be lucky to
buy new clothes and get a fresh haircut;
parents buy new clothes for their children so
that the children can wear them when Tết
arrives. In the days leading up to Tết, the
streets and markets are full of people. As
most all shops will be closed during Tết,
people will stock up on supplies and you
should as well, at least enough for 1 or 2
days.

Before Tết (con’t)
It is during this cultural event that Ông Táo
comes in to serve as the Kitchen God for
Vietnamese families. As the old year ends,
he goes to the heaven to discuss the
family’s situation with the Jade Emperor, the
King of Heaven.
Due to his presence in Vietnamese culture,
Ông Táo is a prominent character in many
folk plays. Considering his position as a
messenger from heaven, the writers often
depict the living conditions, problems, and
solutions that need to be addressed by a
family, to the audience.
Vietnamese people regard Ông Táo as a
family member, and various prayers and
offerings are brought to him at the family
altar.
During Tết
The last day of the old year (18 Feb) and the
first three days of the New Year (19-21 Feb)
are the most important days of the New
Year. On New Year’s Eve, families gather
for dinner with the presence of all family
members. The Giao Thừa is the most
sacred point of time, midnight, the passage
from the old to the New Year. Individuals
offer personal prayers to honor and thank
the God of Heaven and the God of Earth for
their blessings. During this time, Ông Táo
returns to earth after reporting to the Jade
Emperor. Each family offers an open-air
ceremony to welcome him back to their
kitchen.
The first day of Tết is reserved for the
nuclear family. Children are given a red
envelopes containing money from their
elders. Usually, children wear new clothes
and give their elders the traditional Tết
greetings before receiving the money. Since
Vietnamese believe that the first visitor a
family received in the year determines their
fortune for the year, people never enter
other’s homes on the first day without being
invited first. During subsequent days,
people visit relatives and friends.

Food & Flowers of Tết
In Vietnamese language, to celebrate Tết is
to ăn Tết, literally meaning "eat Tết",
showing the importance of food in its
celebration. Some of the food is also eaten
year-round, while other dishes are only
eaten during Tết. Some of the food is
vegetarian as it is believed to be good luck
to eat vegetarian on Tết. Some traditional
food eaten during Tết are:
Bánh chưng and bánh tét: tightly
packed sticky rice with meat or bean fillings
wrapped in Dong (Bánh Chưng, typical in
the north) or banana leaves (Bánh Tét,
typical in the south).
Hạt Dưa: roasted watermelon seeds.
Dưa Hành: pickled onion and pickled
cabbage.
Củ Kiệu: pickled small leeks.
Mứt: These dried candied fruits are rarely
eaten at any time besides Tết.
Thịt Kho Nước Dừa: "Meat Stewed in
Coconut Juice", a traditional dish of pork
belly and medium boiled eggs stewed
overnight in a broth-like sauce, often eaten
with pickled bean sprouts and chives, and
white rice.
Hạt Dưa( roasted watermelon seeds).
Mứt (dried fruit)
Thịt Kho Nước Dừa (Meat Stewed in
Coconut Juice)
Bánh Chưng and Bánh Tét
Similar to the pine tree for Christmas holiday
in the West, Vietnamese also use many
kinds of flowers and plants to decorate their
homes for the holiday. Traditional plants
include the Hoa Đào (Peach Blossom), Hoa
Mai (Ochna Integerrima) and Cây Quất
(Kumquat Tree). These plants represent
coziness and prosperity. Other flowers may
be displayed too.
Vietnamese families traditionally lay out a
tray of 5 fruits at the altar. The fruits are
colorful and meaninful. In Asian mythology,
the world is made of five basic elements:
metal, wood, water, fire and earth. The plate
of fruits on the family alter at New Year is
one of the several ways to represent this
concept. It also represents the desire for
good crops and prosperity.

Tết-tiquette
Share Your Lì Xì
Lì Xì, “Lucky money” is given by the older
and superior, to the younger and
subordinate. Parents and grandparents,
aunts and uncles, give lucky money to
children. People give money to their friends'
children, teachers give lucky money to
students, and Management gives lucky
money to employees.

Common Wishes
for Tết
 Chúc Mừng Năm Mới (Chook moong
numb moi) - Happy New Year
 Sống lâu trăm tuổi (Sowng l-ow chrum
th-ui) - Live to be 100 years old - used by
children for elders.
 An khang thịnh vượng (Ang khang tinh
vuong) - Security, good health, and
prosperity
 Vạn sự như ý (Vant su nhu ee) - May a
myriad of things go according to your will
 Sức khoẻ dồi dào (Suok kewa yoi yao) Plenty of health
 Cung hỉ phát tài (Khung he fak th-ai) (from the Cantonese, Gung hay fat choy)
Congratulations and be prosperous
 Tiền vô như nước (Th-ien voh nhu nhuk)
- May money flow in like water - used
informally
 Nhiều may mắn (nhew maye manh) Good luck
Lì-Xì is given in little red envelopes that you
can buy in bookstores or on the streets. It
should be given during the first few days of
the New Year, but it’s also possible to give a
little before and after this time. It is
traditionally important to give new bank
notes, which are considered luckier for the
recipients.
Bonus Time!
If you have household helpers, drivers
gardeners etc., it is expected at this time to
pay their salaries as well as Lì Xì and/or
bonus. The bonus is determined by how
long they have been working for you and of
course if you are happy with their services.
Generally, if the employee has been working
for you for more than one year the bonus
starts from one month’s salary and can be 2
or 3 months at your discretion. If the
employee has been working for you for
under a year you may pro rate the bonus.
Before Tết begins, you give them their
salary and their bonus (bonus in red
envelope) and wish them a happy Tết time
with their families. For Employers who
have already paid staff bonuses at the end
of the calendar or fiscal year then a smaller
amount for Lì Xì should be given for good
luck.
Tết is an exciting time for gift giving and
family gatherings. If you are a foreigner in
Vietnam, you are not obliged to participate
and need only do what you prefer. Most of
all enjoy the quiet streets around this time
and keep an eye on what shops and
restaurants are open. For options and
information on what to do in Ho Chi Minh
City and Hanoi, read more in our Calendar
of Events & Activities and our Opening Time
Guide.
 DO put your wallet, hand phone, car
keys in safe place. Be extra mindful
when near crowds.

home for a prosperous new year
 Go to the pagoda to pick young buds

Dos and Don’ts and a Few Words of
Caution
 DON’T set foot in anybody’s home on
the first day of Tết, unless invited (Thur,

Tết Gift Giving
Red Items
Red symbolizes good luck, prosperity,
joyfulness and contentment. During Tết one
can see the color red everywhere, from the
ornaments, lucky envelopes, to the clothes
of the elderly on the first days of the New
Year. Whichever gifts you plan to give,
place a priority on the red and yellow and
avoid dark colors.
Gift giving is a popular Tết custom and is an
important occasion for building and
maintaining social ties. Much of the
celebration of Tết centers around good luck,
and everything is done with this in mind.
Hoa Đào (Peach Blossom)
Kumquat Tree
The Kumquat plant symbolically represents
the many generations of a household. The
fruits are grandparents, the flowers are
parents and the buds and green leaves are
children. It literally is a family tree!
Kumquat plants should be carefully selected
for their symmetrical leaves, color and
shape of fruit.
What to give for Tết?
Giving gifts in Vietnam during the Tết
holiday should focus on the Vietnamese
symbols of good luck such as new clothes
for children, peach branches or anything
red.
Novelty box of chocolates with red wrapping
featuring the Sheep (Chinese)
Greeting Cards
Similar to western culture, greeting cards
are also given for this holiday. Typically
greeting cards are printed in vivid colors like
red or yellow and with distinctive images
such as apricot and peach blossom, sticky
rice cake etc.
Wine, tea, cookies, chocolates are widely
used as gifts.
Several gifts are considered taboo, including
watches, clocks (associated with death);
knives, scissors, forks (cutting good luck)
anything black (ink, coffee), anything related
to fire (lighter) and handkerchiefs (as it
symbolizes tears and sweat in the New
Year).
Here are among the most popular gifts
given:
Hoa Mai & Hoa Đào Flowers
Live, blooming flowers symbolize the rebirth
that will take place in the coming spring and
fruit blossoms symbolize the start of the
cycle that will result in a new crop of fruit
later in the year. These two distinct flowers
are widely sold and purchased during Tết.
The spectacular yellow flowers of the Hoa
Mai (ochna integerrima) make it very
popular in southern Vietnam.
Cây Quất (Kumquat Tree)
Remember, when buying plants, you should
purchase them closer to the holiday as the
plants should be fresh and bloom for Tlo.
Wine & Gift Baskets
Historically wine was kept in pottery gourds
and was believed to contain the essence of
heaven and earth, nowadays; those old
gourds are replaced by modern wine bottles.
The meaning of wine as the gift of New Year
has remained unchanged. It takes a lot of
time for wine to ferment and distil; so wine is
highly appreciated by Vietnamese.
Nevertheless, drinking wine can make
people feel warm and energetic, which are
exactly what people wish for their upcoming
year.
Hoa Mai (Ochna Intergerrima)
Hoa Đào (peach blossom) is more common
in the North as it can grow in the dry and
cold weather. It is used to ward off evil
spirits during the Tết celebrations.
