After getting the feedback from everyone about what is going to work for Christmas Sunday it looks like what will work the best is having our Dixon get together on Christmas Eve. Because it seems that everyone goes to bed 'uncharacteristically' early that day! Will 4 pm work for everyone?
Of course you are all invited to come on Christmas Day also if you would like. We would love to hear if Santa made it to your house!
Can't wait, Can't wait, Can't wait!

Hallo,
It sounds like the holiday season is in full gear over there, everyone is busy! In answer to all of your questions... they do not have thanksgiving over here. For some reason they don't want to celebrate the founding of America... weird. Although they DO celebrate TWO Christmases. I think I know what traditions I'll be bringing back from my mission 
Luckily we have a dinner appointment with an American family on Thursday! We are so excited that we will be having an american thanksgiving... even if it won't be anywhere as good as Mom's.
It has been very stormy over here. Lots of rain, lots of wind. I ask people if this is normal weather for Belgium, they nod and get this look on their faces as if to say "girl! you can't even imagine!" (every Belgian speaks as a black woman in their heads). I am very grateful that I am down here in Belgium for the wintertime and not up north, I hear that Groningen is brutal in the winter.
This week was transfer week, both Sister Leman and I are staying but the Elders te Gent both left, and nobody replaced them. When they announced that to the members there was a collective gasp from the congregation. I guess there have ALWAYS been Elders in Gent, It's a large city so I can imagine why. But now the city is ours, ours, ALL OURS BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Elders will come back to find this city improved 
Well, That's about it for this week. Please keep sending me pictures of Shrek. The ones I got this week were SOOOO cute!
I love you all
Zuster Dixon
Baby it's cold outside
We played D&D for our last P-day together. I was a Halfling Ranger and totally rocked it!
Belgian food is so delicious!
