The most important Vietnamese holiday is Tet, often described as Christmas, Thanksgiving, and the Fourth of July rolled into one. Tet is the annual turning of the lunar year and the start of spring. At Tet, the whole country, household by household, tidies up, pays off debts, buys new clothes, prepares special rice cakes, and gets ready for the family reunions that follow the displays of fireworks.
