Christmas in October for terminally ill boy celebrated by Ontario town
Christmas in October for terminally ill boy celebrated by Ontario townhttp://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/programs/metromorning/evan-leversage-christmas-early-1.3280502
"SNIP.................
His family recently learned that Evan's tumour has grown and spread, prompting doctors to suggest the family celebrate Christmas early this year.
His mother, Nicole Wellwood, asked her family if they wouldn't mind celebrating Christmas in October.
Her cousins took that request to the next level, handing out flyers, starting a Facebook page and fundraising to make the most of Christmas in October.
.....
So people in St. George brought their lights out early and got to work. Before long, the entire town heard Evan's story and began decorating for the holiday.
Hundreds of houses in St. George are fully decked out with Christmas decor and a huge parade is planned to go right past Evan's house on Saturday.
