During Tết, we have a lovely tradition called lì xì.
It involves giving red envelopes filled with new banknotes to children.
The joy on their faces is priceless!
The amount of money inside does not matter; it’s about wishing good luck and prosperity for the new year.
When receiving a lì xì, it’s important to take it with both hands and wait to open it until the giver walks away.
This way, we show respect and appreciation.
This custom creates a warm atmosphere in our families and strengthens our bonds during the New Year celebrations.
