Summer? Does anyone think they would work for the winter holidays? I can just see these lighting up the doorway or strung alongside the walkway on Thanksgiving or Christmas 0r New Year's Eve. Just change the colors to suit the season and that's all there is to it. It's an awesome idea and so simple to do! I have to try it.
