Every year, it always feels like the holiday season starts earlier and earlier. As fun as the holiday season is, it can feel a little ridiculous when you start seeing Christmas decorations and advertisements before celebrating Thanksgiving. However, this town has a pretty good reason for starting their Christmas celebrations in October.
Doctors told 7-year-old Evan Leversage, and his mom Nicole, that his cancer had progressed, and that he didn’t have much time to live. Nicole asked if he’d make it to Christmas, but doctors couldn’t guarantee it. The thought of celebrating the holiday without her son was unbearable, so she came up with a plan to ensure Evan would have one more Christmas.
When Nicole heard her son might not make it to Christmas, she decided to celebrate the holiday early with close friends and family.
However, once the rest of the residents of St. George in Canada heard the news, the whole town came together to throw Evan a christmas parade and turn the town into a Christmas wonderland for Evan. They even got snow machines to make October feel more like December.
Watch the entire video below to see how this town came together to bring Christmas to Evan.
