Your problem is that the dates have been used as field names (headers)
rather than as data. Although it may be possible to get the field names
brought in as a part of the merge it would take code to do it - there is no
"built-in" feature to include the names of the fields and I have no idea
what the code might be.

The easiest thing would be to just type the labeling into the main doc just
as though they were To/From/Regarding labels in a memo you were merging to.
In this case you would precede the data fields with typed labels such as 16
Dec: [field], 23 Dec: [field], , etc.

If I understand you correctly then you would need

{Mergefield Name}
{Mergefield address}
{Mergefield phone}
16 Dec {Mergefield "16 dec"}
23 Dec (Mergefield "23 dec"}
30 Dec {Mergefield "30 dec"}
