Huge win

So this weekend Santa Clause brought us a present. We beat, what was, the current #1 team in Division 2 volleyball in Belgium. We won 25-18, 25-23, 25-21. It was just a very good win.
On a sad note, Scott the Canadian rolled his ankle in practice and is on crutches for the next week and probably will be out until after Christmas. Maartin, one of our middles, also rolled his ankle and might be about the same ETA. So we have had to bring up players from the second team for practices, and we also got to see our long lost buddie Koen this week for a practice. It reminded us of the good old days..... back in September.

So this is Santa Clause weekend in Belgium. He comes and gives all the little kids presents. And I guess Christmas is similar, but it is for family and giving each other gifts (not santa giving gifts). So here is what Santa Clause is like in Belgium: He rides a white horse, he comes from Spain, and his helpers are called Black Pete's. They are called that because they are covered in black from going down all the Chimneys. They have to go down the Chimneys so they can open the front door for Santa. You ask, "do they leave Santa cookies and Milk?" The answer is no. They leave Santa Beer and sugar cubes.

Well, have a fun Santa Clause weekend!
