Consumerism

3. According to legend a monster known as Sui appeared on New
Year's Eve with the intent of harming children. A sleeping child
who was touched by this monster would develop a fever and
subsequently become an idiot. However it was said that when
their parents prayed sincerely, God sent eight guards disguised as
coins to protect them. So people threaded eight coins on red
string and placed them under the children's pillows. This became
an annual custom and the monster Sui no longer came near.

meaning, name the modern analog of the aforementioned present

frequently were used more than Christmas lights.

hazard. Modern analogs are typically made from polyvinyl
