I use these during the Christmas season.  I have a Santa collection which I display in my hutch.  It's kind of a pain to set it up worth it when done.  I use greenery, pine cones, etc to enhance the overall look.  This year I decided to use the strings of mini lights which not only highlight the Santas and greenery but also shines through the glass shelves.  When I saw the price on these, I had to stock up!
