An entire town in Ontario is celebrating Christmas in October for a little boy who is terminally ill.
The town of St. George may just have the most powerful and beautiful community spirit in the world.
They have all rallied together to make Christmas come early for one little boy who may not make it to December.

Evan Leversage was diagnosed with brain cancer five years ago when he was just two years old and he has been receiving treatment ever since.
Sadly, his family were recently told his tumour had grown and that there is no guarantee he will live to celebrate Christmas.
When Evan’s mum, Nicole Wellwood, asked her family to celebrate the holidays early, she had no idea how far the idea would spread.
Soon the whole town had come together, putting up Christmas lights all over the town and even organising a Christmas parade, complete with floats and a Santa Claus.
Nicole told CBC: “It’s pretty crazy. A lot of people have really went above and beyond.”
“You look out our front window, the entire street is lit up.
“Everywhere you look it’s Christmas. It’s more than I could have imagined.”
This story truly demonstrates the power of people.
