New Year's Eve Dinner

Việt Văn |

In the bustling atmosphere of the streets on the days before Tet, people are busy buying and selling to say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new year, the New Year's Eve meal appears as a pause, a meaningful pause in the hustle and bustle of life. Although time has changed, the New Year's Eve meal still carries within it a sacred and profound value.

In the old days, when life was simple, the New Year's Eve meal was the time for the whole family to gather together after a year of hard work. Traditional dishes were meticulously prepared early: a pot of boiling banh chung, a plate of golden chicken, a bowl of rich bamboo shoot soup... The meal was not only an occasion for the family to enjoy delicious dishes, but also an opportunity for everyone to look back on the past year, share joys and sorrows, and wish for a peaceful and prosperous new year.

Grandparents sit in the most solemn position, parents serve food to their children, happy and sad stories resound with laughter... All create a warm space, where each member feels the family bond. For many people, it is the most beautiful and complete moment of the whole year.

However, nowadays, the New Year's Eve meal seems to be different. Modern life entails busyness, geographical distances and time, making it more difficult to gather together. Many families can only celebrate the New Year's Eve with a few members present, while others have to stay far away due to work, study, or other reasons. Sometimes, people accept going "online" through the phone or computer screen to say New Year's greetings.

Although technology is undeniable, an incomplete New Year’s Eve meal still leaves a void. The laughter is missing, the chairs around the dining table are empty, and the atmosphere of reunion seems to be less than perfect. Today’s New Year’s Eve meal may not be the same as the old days, but its meaning remains intact.

No matter how life changes, no matter how far the distance is, as long as each person spends a little time, a little thought, that meal is still a place where love is nurtured, and warmth is spread. Whether full or lacking, the core value of the New Year's Eve meal is still an opportunity for everyone to look back on the past year, remember their roots, and send their hopes for the new year. It reminds us that, no matter where we are, what we do, family is still the support, the place we always turn to.
