Bánh tét is one of a must tradional food that is made and eaten only on Tet holiday by families in the South and the Central of Vietnam. In the North, they make bánh chưng. However, nowadays, this kind of food is still available sometimes at some shops and markets during the year, especially at markets in small towns. However, the quality is not as good as the ones that made by families for themselves.

In the past, families usually made bánh tét on the day before Tết. They cooked it and celebrated the New year's Eve at the same time. Gathering together to make bánh tét is a very beautiful tradition of Vietnam. It's not only the time to make bánh tét, but also the time for family members to bond and come together by talking, recalling memories, laughing together and celebrating the holiday spirit after a long hard working year that they might even not meet each other. And also, it's a special time for the kids to learn about the Vietnamese traditions and the legend of bánh tét. This way, historical values are reserved. However, it takes a lot of time and techniques to make bánh tét so nowadays, many families choose to buy bánh tét in stead of making it by themselves. This somehow makes the beauty of the traditions and customs of Tet holiday in Vietnam is not as how it used to be in the past anymore.

Therefore, there's nothing to make sure that images like this will still available to catch in the future when life has been getting more and more modern and people tend to choose convenient things.
