Halloween, Dia de muertos, Ognissanti Holiday Breads

My family will insist I bake pan de muerto. I think I will use this sourdough recipe from Wild yeast blog

http://www.wildyeastblog.com/pan-de-muerto/. I have used the Fine Cooking recipe in the past that was well appreciated. 

 I may also make a Pan De Calabaza  (Pumpkin Challa) from Maggie Glezer but that will have to wait until next weekend unless the weather is really bad. There is an interesting sourdough version here http://www.breadland.org/2011/10/whole-lotta-sourdough-pumpkin-challah.html

.I should make these cookies since my wife is Sardinian. http://www.mangiarebene.com/ricette/dolci-e-dessert/ricette-di-biscotti-e-dolcetti-vari/pabassinas_IDa_3896.htm

Anyone know of other traditional holiday breads for this time of year

Not my thing but in Ireland they eat a fruit bread called barmbrack or barm brach or barmbrach.
