It’s Cold Outside

Kinky Advent 2020-Day 7

See the other post in this project here.

Day 7 of Kinky Advent 2020 was all about feeling warm and fuzzy. The two calendar prompts came together in a great way, even though one focused on giving to others and acts of kindness, and the other focused on how giving to others makes you feel. It was a great experience and became a family event (except the photography part, of course).

Baby It’s Cold Outside

Day 7 at the SafeworD/s Club is: Baby, It’s cold Outside. Christmas is about the warm fuzzies, but also about giving to others. Today we were tasked with doing something for another that we thought would warm their heart. It could be either naughty or nice.

Since I already had my good deeds planned for the day, I thought I would add some naughty cheer to Mister K’s. As part of our contract, I send him an erotic image each day, but today was special, so he received two. He said the extra image brought some extra smiles to his Monday. Seems my work here is done.

Random Acts of Kindness

The Submissive Guide prompted us to do Random Acts of Kindness for Day 7. While this is not something new to me or my household, aligning it with my submission was. The theory is that doing good for others feeds our need to submit. Caring for others is just one of many ways that it can happen, but is my new preferred way (outside of actually submitting to Mister K).

I was elated to bring my kids in on this task as I think that it builds good character and teaches them about the meaning of the season. For our Acts of Kindness we chose one for each day, so a total of seven, staying with the theme of it being cold outside.

One:

We went through all our knitted hats (called toques {to-ukes} in Canada), scarves, mittens and blankets and donated any unused ones to the homeless shelter, of which 235 000 people will use in Canada each year. It’s about to become brutally cold, and these small donations will help keep at least a few fingers and toes warm.

Two:

I collected any clothing that no longer fits me, as well as jackets, boots, unopened toiletries and lotions and brought them to the woman’s shelter. My youngest also added a pair of winter boots and an old coat, in case one of the ladies has children (which is likely). In Canada, 15 000 women used emergency shelters last year, a staggering number. I hope they find some warmth this Christmas.

Three:

We went to the grocery store and filled our cart with non-perishable items as well as 5 Turkey vouchers. After loading it all into decorated boxes, we took it to the local foodbank and asked for it to be donated anonymously. The man there said we brought enough for 20 families 🙂

My kids asked why we didn’t leave our names and this became a good time to remind them that if you do a good deed expecting something in return, it wasn’t a good deed after all.

Four:

We added our names to volunteer at the soup kitchen on Christmas Day. The kitchen in my community will serve approximately 300 people this year (estimated), and we’re happy to make sure they get at least one hot meal during the holidays.

Five:

Our next door neighbour is in her late seventies and has Parkinson’s Disease. We offered to do her Christmas shopping, something she was very grateful for. Driving during the winter is difficult at the best of times, but when you add the line ups, the waits and traffic, it’s not particularily enjoyable for most. We’re glad she’ll be home safe and not have to stand in line.

Six:

We took dog and cat food to the pet shelter. Our city has an excellent adopt a pet program, but feeding all those lonely animals is quite the cost. As animals lovers it was nice to help out. My oldest even volunteered for a few pet sitting shifts 🙂

Seven:

We bought 2 boys gifts and 2 girls gifts and donated them to a program called the Angel Tree. This program helps less fortunate families supply their children with gifts on Christmas morning and shopping for this was by far the most fun we had today.

I know not everyone is able to contribute the way we did and that’s okay. We budget it into the holidays because we like giving back to our community. There are many other ways to help out at this time of year. Sometimes a simple smile is all that’s someone needs. Please remember, is costs nothing to be kind.

We finished the day feeling quite good and went home to have some hot chocolate. Nothing takes off the chill quite like it, and it does a wonderful job of making you feel warm and fuzzy 🙂

Tomorrow is Maids a milking, and accepting compliments. Sounds like another extrodinary day.

Until then, here’s a little something to make you feel warm and fuzzy!
