Vietnamese New Year

Every year, around the month of January or February, my family and I celebrate our version of the New Year. We would take out decorations and put it around the house, making the house more festive! We helped out our mom as we prepare food for our ancestors by doing lots of cooking and buying in shops. And after we prepare the whole table of meals and made our messages to our ancestors with our incense sticks, we left as they enjoy their food. An hour or more later, we come back and eat the food we prepared. We wear our ao dai as part of our cultural clothing, and went to the party at the Vietnamese church to celebrate.
