Preparation for the Lunar New Year Celebrationa

Preparation for the Lunar New Year Celebration
The Lunar New Year--called Tet in Vietnam--is the most important celebration of the year for Chinese and Vietnamese people. This family has decorated their tire and battery store for the festival.	Visiting family and friends is an important part of the new year, and this vendor sells the gifts of oranges and other fruits and tins of biscuits that are given to those visited.
An important part of the celebration is the family reunion dinner on new year's eve. Roast pork is a traditional dish.	Everything must be made new for the new year celebration. Houses are cleaned and painted; broken dishes are thrown away; people buy new clothes and get haircuts; traditional flowers and peach tree branches decorate the houses. And all of this at greatly inflated prices during the two weeks before the big celebration!
There is a spiritual side to the New Year celebrations also. On new year's eve, throughout the city families burn stacks of imitation paper money for their deceased ancestors to use for whatever they need in the next life.
