At Tet in Vietnam, there are many traditional. People also wear new clothes at home when they have a party. The most important part is the lucky money. Every year at Tet, adults give children lucky money because in the legend, there was a demon that always made the toddlers couldn't sleep. There was a God, and one time he saw that the demon was naughty, so he pretended a person. he went to that house a gave the 8 coins (money) to the mother and said she must put the money around and under the pillow so that the demon couldn't make troubles. After that, it became true. The people saw that happen so every Tet, they gave lucky money for children. Tet, they have two kind of special food. The first one is Banh Chung, it is square, green and it is made by sticky rice and meat with fat. It is square because it is known as the Earth.
