The money you saw burned is not lucky money; it’s “afterlife money” burned for the dead. Lucky money is real money in red/gold envelopes given to children for good luck on New Year’s Day.

Ume, we were never given lucky money but we saw when lucky money was burned during Tet for good luck. We haven’t been back to Vietnam for years, but we’ll try to plan around Tet when we do return!

Tet is the best holiday for us. If you have a chance to join Tet with a local family, it would be an unique experience that you will have never found it else where
