I.Regardless of age, society class, or living conditions, every Vietnamese family celebrates the New Year in the same traditional way. It's considered to be the most important and wonderful holiday in my country, since that is the time for people to leave their unhappiness behind and get their fortune for the New Year. Similar to other houses, my family has always bustled in preparing and greeting for the New Year.
II. That was the day preceding New Year, and it was the busiest day in my house. My mother went to the supermarket early in the morning and came back with a bunch of food. From then on, the clatter of dishes and pans and the sizzle of food that was frying, resounded incessantly until late evening. At any place in the house, you could hear the noisy boil on the stove or the scrunching of my mother's spoon scraping the pan. You could also smell the burned coconut jam, which was being made by my sister. "Why do you always burn it?" I shouted. "That's the way I like," she said and laughed at me.
III. I loved her jam so much, but she was always burning it until the white coconut jam became the yellow jam. It was terrible! At noon, the puff of smoke and the mixed scent from various kinds of food started spreading over my house. After that, certainly, there were my father's footsteps clattering on the floor. He left his half-painted walls in the living room to go into the kitchen and grumble to my Mom. "Your smoke is disturbing me."
IV. In fact, he just wanted to look around the kitchen room and see the many kinds of food on the table. Then he smiled contentedly when he saw my mother cooking next to the tiny crackles of burnt firewood in the stove and the bright red fire which was blazing up the kitchen.
V. At the end of the day when everything was done, my house became brilliant with colorful balloons, ribbons, and flowers. However, you couldn't sit next to the walls in the living room because the layer of new paint was still sticky and would adhere on your clothes. Moreover, the smell of paint was very strong at the end of this day.
