The Lunar New Year, or Tet in Vietnamese, is about three weeks away and the Vietnamese media have their own ways of celebrating it: publishing special editions as for newspapers and broadcasting Tet programs in the case of TV.

Tet falls on February 19 this year, with festive preparations beginning around one week before the date and the celebratory atmosphere lingering another week after that.

The Lunar New Year is very special in Vietnamese culture as it is an occasion when people get together with their family after a lunar year studying or working away from one another.

During those days, apart from going out, visiting their relatives or joining get-togethers with friends, many skim through the Tet editions of local newspapers or relish in joyful TV programs over sumptuous meals during family unions.
