Tết Holiday

Tết holiday, a.k.a. Vietnamese Lunar New Year is my favorite holiday. My scene shows the tradition of a Vietnamese family gathering on New Year's Eve to make the traditional sticky rice cakes, "bánh chưng" (square shape) and "bánh tét" (log-like cylindrical shape). Dad is preparing the banana leaves which will wrap the cake while mom is scooping rice into the cake and I am adding the meat. My brother is checking on the cooking pot of bánh tét, though he seems to be getting himself into a bit of trouble while stirring up the fire. In the background is a yellow apricot flower tree which is the symbol of Tết in Vietnam. The sign hanging from the tree, which says "Chúc Mừng Năm Mới" means "Happy New Year." Tết is my favorite holiday because it brings family together and everybody shares stories about their lives after being far apart from each other for a long time. I hope you get to experience Tết holiday yourself one day but in the mean time please enjoy my build. Thank you!
