Tết
Abstract
The lunar new year is arguably the most important holiday for Vietnamese, whether in the homeland or overseas. Known as Tê´ t Nguyên Dán, or simply Tê´ t for short, the holiday can be divided into three periods: Tê´ t Niên (before New Year’s Eve), Giao Thù’a (New Year’s Eve), and Tân Niên (the New Year). The customs and traditions associated with Tê´ t have changed for Vietnamese Americans, as with other cultural forms that have endured international migration.
