New Year in my Country

Happy New Year 2010.
New Year is some thing new for a year. It begins to bring about a turning point new. For me: New Year is also a new day. I can do something I like but New Year is important than a new day because it is a year. It is a long time. You can find a good job for yourself. I am student. A New Year, I wish I was I have a good class, teacher, and I have a happy the life.
My culture has some different in a New Year day. First Morning or Head Day is reserved for the nuclear family, that is, the husband's household. Immediate family members get together and celebrate with the husband's parents. A younger brother, if the parents are not alive, will visit his older sibling. Faraway sons and daughters journey to be with their parents on this day. With both arms folded in front of their chest in respect, they thank their grandparents for their birth and upbringing. After the ceremony, the entire family sits down to enjoy the meal typically consisting of steamed chicken, bamboo shoot soup, banh chung and fresh fruits. They reminisce with their ancestors.There is a Vietnamese saying related to ancestor worship: "Trees have roots; water has a source; when drinking from the spring, one must remember the source." Thanks are offered to those ancestors who labored long ago to dig irrigation channels and remove mountains for this generation to have an easier life. The present is only one link in the cycle of coming back to the past as one looks to the future.
The second day of New Year day is for visiting the wife's family and close friends. Some shops have opened and a few lottery stands are busy selling chances to people who feel lucky. Everyone is out on the street parading around in their new clothes.
On the third day of New Year day, the circle of connections becomes larger and is extended to the broader community outside the family by visits to teachers, bosses or a helpful physician. The Vietnamese visit teachers and physicians although long out of school and long cured of their illness. This may be the time to have one's fortune told to see what the coming year will bring. These days in Vietnam, there are fortunetellers using computer software. People are also especially interested in the significance of their first dream of the new year. The evening of the third day marks the departure of the ancestors by burning votive objects such as gold and silver, for them to take with them on their journey back to Heaven.
This is a New Year in the end. All the people say good luck and successful in New Year. After that everybody come back them life everyday this is work, eat, enjoy…..
