Once upon a time, a rough and tumble seven year old caught Santa sliding down the chimney…
Then a ninja elf came and broke Santa out; no net is strong enough to keep out this ninja elf! Off past the faithful family pet they ran and jumped in the sleigh. They raced to another house but refused to stop when ghosts were there to greet them. Santa doesn’t tangle with ghosts. He doesn’t tangle with vampires, either.
At the next stop, he met a runaway gingerbread man who yelled, “You can’t catch me, I’m the Gingerbread Man!” Santa didn’t bother to catch him; he had things to do.
On his way to his next delivery, he passed a werewolf jumping out of a plane and dodged a zombie hungry for his brain.
He finally touched down in a nice, normal town full of tidings and great joy…
Or did he?

I purchased this book to help raise money to fight domestic violence, and like when I read and reviewed Christmas Lites II, was absolutely not disappointed in the least! Like its sequel, this work is composed of over 20 stories by various authors, 27 to be exact, containing a variety of genres such as comedy, romance, and even a bit of horror. There's something for everyone in this work. Some of my personal favorites were the stories 'How I found my soul mate', 'All I want for Christmas', and 'Whimper'. Several of the authors are published elsewhere while others are making their debut in the field of creative writing but all have great talent and share equal compassion for the cause (NCADV-National Coalition Against Domestic Violence) that all book proceeds are donated to. I encourage, no gently insist, that all who love christmas themed tales and who want to help raise money for a wonderful cause buy this book and its sequel, Christmas Lites II. I don't think there will be any disappointment.Product details

Christmas Lites eBook Creative Reviews Reviews
Looking for a meaningful gift? Look no further. This lovely collection of short stories gives on a number of levels. The anthology re-defines 'diversity'! There's everything from Santa Claus and ninja elves to zombies (yes, you read correctly - zombies and Christmas!). If you're not crazy about one genre or writing style, guaranteed the next story will be one you do like.
Apart from the stories themselves is the story behind this book. A group of authors got together and decided to share time and talent to contribute to the well-being of others. Every penny earned in profits will be going to the (US) National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, a charity that helps women and children escape from abuse. This makes it a true Christmas gift all around. This is a great buy for people looking for something a little more meaningful to stuff in that stocking or slip under the tree. Just make sure there aren't any Christmas vampires lurking under the branches before you do...!
What happens when a group of authors end up spending time on Goodreads chatting about books, writing, publishing and a potpourri of other topics? Well, aside from not getting as much writing done as they could or should, a wonderful community was born. What is this gathering of the writing minds and where can I find it? Why, I am glad you asked my friend. This meeting of the minds can be found on Goodreads in the group Creative Reviews. Wait, you are a reader not a writer, no worries they accept all wayward souls, readers, reviewers, bloggers and anyone else who stops by their little forum. At last check their membership was over a thousand and counting. Ok, you are shaking your head and wondering what all this has to do with my review of Creative Lites. Well, everything, you see these talented people got together one day and decided to donate their time, effort and words to create an anthology of Christmas stories. I realize not everyone out there is a fan of anthologies but this one is exceptional. First, it is an eclectic bunch of short stories. This book has it all, sentimental messages, Christmas memories, funnies, elves, Santa, ghosts and aliens, zombies, witches vampires and werewolves and even a turkey avenger. Yes, you read that correctly. So, you see this little collection stands alone. Yes, a little something for everyone, let me show you what you will find.
Want heart felt stories with touching messages and reminders of the true meaning of Christmas then read'Tis the Holiday Spirit by Ottilie Weber or Sweet Child by Mark Koning or Memories of the Splendid Splinter by Richard Phelan or The Carpenter's Wife by Misty Baker and the one that stabbed me right in the heart, Whimper by C.S. Splitter.
Sentiment isn't your thing then how about a couple of stories with stark reminders of what should be important family, friends, helping others etc, for this I recommend All I Want for Christmas by Angel Armstead or Christmas Story by Phil Cantrill and Only That Day Dawns by Angela Yuriko-Smith.
Not into heavy messages but instead you prefer something funny and light try The Perfect Ornament by Cambria Hebert or Christmas Disco by Paige Kellerman and The Hunt by Amy Eye and The Turkey Avenger by E.C. Stilson
How about a little romance? For the lovers there is How I Found My Soul Mate by E.C. Stilson ( a funny and clever story about being stuck in the waiting room of the Hereafter) how about Accidentally Gift Wrapped by Tricia Kristufek or A Sprig of Holly by JA Clement or Santa's Ninja Elf by Lizzie Ford.
Perhaps you are a fan of stories with a little supernatural spice I would recommend for you Last Year's Eggnog by Brett Talley or The Christmas Ghost by Vered Ehsani and Star of Christmas by L.A. Wright or The Mirror by Cassie McCown.
If you are die hard paranormal fan this book has something for you. Yes, that's right there are zombies, aliens, sexy werewolfs and more in these offerings
An Amy Harkstone Christmas by Mark Mackey and The Road to Comfort by S. Patrick Pothier and Broken Glass by Nicolette Alexandr and Blank by Cambria Hebert and Higher Ground by Shane Stilson.
There is a fantasy offering with The Gateway Incident by Catherine Forbes and Paul Woods.
Finally, the one that had me scratching my head that falls into the Horror category is The Face by Mark R Faulkner.
So you see this book certainly has variety. Perfect if you need a short read or you are suffering from attention deficit! Have I convinced you yet to buy this book? What if I told you that it could be purchased for the bargain price of $3.99 @Smashwords and Barnes and Noble ( offers a paperback copy). No!? You are a hard sell if that tantalizing price doesn't convince you to purchase a copy or two. How about this, the reason you should get this book is because the authors are donating every penny of the sales to help the NCADV (National Coalition Against Domestic Violence). You heard it right. All money will go to help the many victims of abuse. That my friends and fellow readers is why you should procure a copy or copies of this work. I can't promise that you will completely love every single story but that isn't the point. Your small contribution will make a difference in someone's life and in exchange you get a bunch of fun little stories (pretty sweet deal if you ask me). Many I am sure you will read and share during the holiday season. I commend these wonderful authors and the others behind the scenes who helped put it together, Amy Eye, Jennifer Pringle, Vered Ehsani, Tricia Kristufek, Cassie McCown, Alan Zendell, Dafeena Jameel and the illustrious C.S. Splitter, who can be found at Creative Reads trying to get The Willing to read The Reluctant or is it The Reluctant to read The Willing? Either way hats off to this great group of people. Here is to many more collaborations. So quit sitting there! Go get your copy now, read and enjoy. Then head over to Goodreads and meet the gang at Creative Reviews! Tell them I sent you! Happy Holidays!
Not only does this book benefit an extremely important cause, the stories will evoke the widest range of emotions. In fact, I just finished reading one that made me cry (hint Boy and Dog). I plan to light a fire on Christmas Eve and read my favorites aloud to my family and friends. What a great gift! And now - I'm off to buy a few more copies.
