In a small dusty village During the Fes val of "Ho" A small boy was born To some folks on the go They'd arrived in the town Early that day And had soon worked out There was nowhere to stay Their Kombi was brimming with their worldly possessions Chickens and dogs It was quite a procession So they set up a camp and the mum had the child the labour was easy So everyone smiled And that a ernoon They all had a sleep Under a tree away from the heat

Then came the night The Fes vi es started the town folks gathered All cleaned up and tarted The new parents took cover From the noise of the crowd Inside their Kombi where it wasn't too loud Oh, what a party This Fes val of "Ho" Everyone got sh* aced On grog, herb or snow Three wise men came "Ho Ho"ing by In the darkness of night with one star in the sky And their giggling and stumbling woke the child, made it cry

The wise guys bolted everyone had the shits, and to stop the child crying They came back bearing gi s The first offered herb which was already rolled the next offered candy In a nice li le bowl The third gave some Cabernet with a selec on of cheeses To the now smiling child The baby called ......Noel

Happy Ho Hos lei

Most of Raewyn's art is presented through the medium of paint and her subjects range from landscape to figura ve works. Raewyn has said: "Living on the New South Wales south coast, I find it impossible not to feel in awe of the beauty of the natural world. The light and colours that are constantly changing are an endless source of inspira on. Another rich resource is our local history and folklore, both indigenous and colonial. I have also been enjoying transla ng to canvas some more personal work that explores emo ons and events from my own life and family history. I enjoy pain ng from the solitude of the studio, a place where produc vity can blend with cups of tea and contempla on."
