Really interested to read a lot of traditions what they are the most memory around the world. I am from Vietnam. Actually, there are many traditional culture in my country, but with me the most memorable holiday is Lunar New Year in January of lunar calendar. The best things of Lunar New Year are firework, traditional foods and customs which Vietnamese people often do it in New Year days. Some specialities that Vietnamese people cook on the days are chung cake - the boiled sticky rice cake with pork and green beans without silk crust inside, many kind of sweet jams made by fruits, seeds, vegetable, such as tomato, strawbery, tamarind, carrot, lotus seed,... Beside that, that is the longest vacation in my country. Many people can come back home if they work far away from their family or spend the period to travel, visit relatives and friends,... Red is believed that lucky color, so we usually decorate our house with many red things. People will send the best wish massages and avoid scolding and saying unlucky things. Because the believe that the first days of the year will affect to all the year and whole the year they will be happy and lucky if the receive and make lucky things.

hi all my name is zay from Somalia but raised in Kenya. I am new to this page but like previous comments.

Actually so cool to read other countries traditions. I live in IRAN and although it is so difficult to chose one answer, in my point of view Norooz Festival is the best so we celebrate it on 20th of March and days before it bazaars are so crowded and people use to buy new clothes, cookie, chocolate and so on. Somehow it might remind you of Chirsmast since it is beginning of Iranian new year.

So happy to read lots of traditions all over the world. I come from China and live in Canada now. One of the most memorable traditions in my country is Mid Autumn day. It dates back to the Yuan dynasty in ancient China, the Han Chinese wanted to resist the invasion by Mongolian, but it's very hard to spread the information to all the people, an intelligent person called Bowen Liu made up with an idea that calling all the families to eat moon cakes in the midday of August, thus the piece of paper was found on the mooncake. Finally, they beat back the enemies successfully. From then on, the tradition of eating mooncakes has been handed down till now. But nowadays, with adding too many commercial purposes, this traditional has lost its original meaning, but more than a business annual event.
