As her mother always said, "enough is as good as a feast." That reminds me of (equally Scottish) Ma Ingalls, who said the same.

It is, of course, a perfect celebration for Minerva. Toasting a portrait can be a peaceful, comforting thing indeed.

I actually never quite agreed with Ma -- enough is good, certainly, but sometimes a feast is better!

That's lovely. ❤️

Thank you, TJ!

How lovely. Leave it to Minerva to establish a holiday tradition I could actually like.

Yes! To my mind, quiet and (semi)solitude would have to be the most valuable commodities at a place like Hogwarts.
