Holiday Pumpkin Nut Bread image

My son starts asking for this pumpkin bread before Thanksgiving. I make 2 or 3 batches every week between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Closer to Christmas I make tons for friends, neighbors and my hubbys golf buddys!!! This is probably my favorite thing to make for the Christmas holidays. Tie it with red and green ribbon and it makes a sweet gift.
