These were the hit of our holiday decorating -- a last-minute addition, as I was completely charmed by them in the catalog we received in December. I took a chance that they would arrive before xmas (they did!) and my family and I all agree that these will be favorite decorations for years to come. They are well-crafted, colorful, funny and look cute sitting anywhere in the house. Good value as a set. I like them so much that I plan on buying them for xmas presents next year. You should buy them -- you wont be disappointed!
