Sunday morning, we might go to the local museum because they do a cultural festival the first Sunday of each month, so they are doing Lunar New Year stuff-- might stop by there or the Kidseum a bit before Super Bowl.</p> <p>In three weeks, there will be two Tet Festivals locally-- one in Little Saigon (with the parade), and one at the fair events center. Not sure if we'll go to either one, since parking is CRAZY, the rides are too much for a toddler and infant, and we can easily get the food anytime...</p> <p>Oh! But I'll be making banh tet this year again! I made banh chung last year, but the folding was hella hard, so I'll be sticking to the easier (and Southern Vietnamese, which is what I am) cylindrical banh tet this year. </p> [attach=146/15/nj052u.288x216.chung.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chinese-new-year-celebrations#post-2047435 Fri, 30 Jan 2015 12:44:55 +0000 mediagirl 2047435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is anything going on in your town or area? We have a festival here tomorrow that we're going to go to. I'm excited to take our lo! </p>
