SEBRING -- Saturday and Sunday a special Christmas shopping venue called "All I Want for Christmas Expo" will take place at Sebring Christian Church at 4514 Hammock Road.

Diana Walker, one of the organizers, said it is an opportunity to do early Christmas gift shopping.

There will be 25 vendors selling everything from chocolate, cosmetics (Avon and Mary Kay), jewelry, purses, home scented items, food dips, to sunglasses and beads. One-of-a-kind home crafts also will be for sale.

A photographer will be on hand to take family photos that can be made into a charm.

Walker said shoppers should feel free to bring children. Teachers from My School Academy of Early Learning will have a crafts table set up so children are kept buy.

Drinks, loaded nachos, hot dogs, kettle corn and cotton candy will be for sale. For a small fee five minute massages will be available for the stressed out.

Walker said there also will be a dollar room with new and gently used items will be for sale at $1 a piece.

Visalus, a company that makes weight loss shakes, will hand out samples of their product.

Every shopper will be given a raffle ticket for a chance at door prizes.

There is no admission fee, but Walker asks that everyone bring a non-perishable food item or an unwrapped toy. These items will be donated to a local charity.

The Expo will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday; and from 1-4 p.m. on Sunday.
