Another Tet tradition is to give children money placed into red (signifying Tet) envelopes. In other cases, envelopes are given to adults who are "in need" for some reason. The amounts of money is normally small - the intent being to give the receiver good luck in the coming year. This is a pic of me giving "good luck money" envelopes to Long (age 11) and Linh (to help pay for the computer I brought to her for which she repaid me in full)!
