Overnight Cinnamon Bread
Cinnamon bread was saved for special occasions when I was growing up, and Christmas morning certainly qualifies. You can do all the prep work on Christmas Eve, so you just need to wake up, pop the loaf pans in the oven, and get ready to dig in!

Instructions
- Coat three 5 3/4 x 3-inch loaf pans with cooking spray, then sprinkle with flour.
