Sorry about the link. I was trying to cheat since I was onthe laptop that didn't have the recipe saved. Golden eggnog loaf From the Sun Sentinel Golden eggnog loaf is similar to pound cake and is delicious served on its own or topped with ice cream.

Sue, I just forwarded you the email I received from Fig Leaf. They are holding a class for the bags. I did see the pattern on line, but I asked DD to pick me up a pattern from Fig Leaf and bring it home this weekend. Maybe I should call and make sure they are selling the pattern before she wastes her time.

I have this saved but haven't had a chance to make it yet.

Thanks everyone for ringing in and sharing your thoughts! Louiseab, a holiday bread might also be also called a quick bread or known by other names. You could even bake up a bunch of pound cakes around the holidays and call them holiday breads. More examples of holiday breads might be banana bread, zucchini bread, and lemon poppyseed bread. These are more of a *sweet* baked good than it is a true crusty bread-baked-in-a-pan & put some butter on it bread -- i.e. for me, for example, Irish Soda Bread would not be considered a holiday bread even if I make it as a Christmas gift. I bake a lot of these during the Christmas holidays and give them as gifts to family, friends, and others like our mailman, our vet's office, neighbors, etc. Sometimes I do cookies. Holiday breads are pretty easy. You can also buy disposable aluminum *mini* loaf pans, and you get more loaves for the amount of batter you make. Here's a link to one that looks good on allrecipes: Allrecipes zucchini bread HTH!
