David and I actually prefer ham to turkey on holidays. I mean, we still do a turkey for Thanksgiving, but we definitely do not let turkey cross over to Christmas like many folks do. Also, Easter. Got to be a ham.
It is hard for ham to be bad, and of course you can eat the pre-cooked ones all on their own. But this is a no fuss way we like to dress up a pre-cooked ham to make them even more festive.
