This scared Festival sometimes between late January or early February (depend on
Lunar Calendar) and Tet has become so familiar to the Vietnamese that when
Spring arrives. The Vietnamese, wherever they may be, are all thrilled and
excited with the advent of Tet, and they feel an immense nostalgia, wishing to
come back to their homeland for a family reunion and a taste of the particular
flavors of the Vietnamese festivities. Although officially a three-day affair,
festivities may continue for a week or more with every effort made to indulge in
eating, drinking, and enjoyable social activities. It is also a time for family
reunions, and for paying respect to ancestors and the elders. Gifts of food are
made to friends, neighbors and relatives in the days before Tet.

Dao, Mai, Quat (the Peach, Apricot and Kumquat)

Coming to Vietnam during the season of the Tet festival, the visitor is engulfed
in an ocean of colorful flowers. Visiting flower shows, contemplating the buds
and blooms, and purchasing blossoms represents one of the distinct Vietnamese
cultural characteristics. The peach (in the North) and the apricot blossoms (in
the South) are symbols of the Vietnamese Tet. The warm pink of the peach could
very well match the dry cold of the North, but the hot South seems to be
flourishing in the riot of the yellow of the apricot. The mandarin is symbolic
of good fortune and, therefore, people tend to choose the little plants laden
with fruit, big and orange, and verdant leaves for a longer display.
