No, this is not an ornament, although hanging one on your holiday tree might not be the worst idea you ever had. It’s certainly festive, and has every right to be. Maybe you can’t party like there’s no tomorrow, but this little golden nugget can. It's the Wu Lou of Longevity, whose interior is believed to hold the elixir of health and vitality. But not so fast, Grasshopper. You’ll lose all potency if you break it open; then you’re left with the Wu Lou of Brevity, a sorry state of affairs. So be good to this little talisman, keep it somewhere safe, admire its shinitude (but not too intently, because that’s paint, not gold), and, hey, maybe you’ll stick around a little longer.
