Santa Claus visits: Sepp Oberleithner has been inspiring children for 51 years

St. Nicholas season is in full swing in Lower Austria and the anticipation of the festive days is palpable. In Horn, children and parents alike enjoyed the visits from Santa Claus and Krampus, who made faces smile at an event organized by the FPÖ team. Those responsible were visibly touched by the large number of people and emphasized: “We were very happy to be able to give a little joy!” The exuberant atmosphere was complemented by the smell of roasted chestnuts and steaming punch, which perfectly rounded off the festive atmosphere meinkreis.at reported.

A strong player in the Santa Claus season is also Sepp Oberleithner from Weinburg, who has been traveling as Santa Claus for an incredible 51 years. Every year he visits between 800 and 1,000 children and brings them sweets and joy. During a recent visit to a school, Oberleithner reported on the bright children's eyes and the happiness that he was able to experience through his visits. “What I experienced is simply great,” he said at an event where a Santa Claus song was even sung with Islamic children. These moments are particularly valuable to him and testify to a festive connection across cultural borders CC Bing reported.

The lively tradition surrounding St. Nicholas and Krampus not only brings joy to the children, but is also characterized by many extraordinary encounters that warm hearts. These events create an unparalleled connection between people from different backgrounds and promote a spirit of community joy.
