Vào đêm giao thừa, người ta ngồi dậy đến nửa đêm để đón năm mới, sau đó thay quần áo mới và chúc nhau những lời chúc đầu mùa. Tết mười ngày qua. Ba ngày đầu tiên là quan trọng nhất. Người Việt tin rằng cách mọi người hành động trong những ngày đó sẽ ảnh hưởng đến cả năm. Do đó, họ cố gắng hết sức để tránh tranh cãi và mỉm cười nhiều nhất có thể.
