Karen, I think I'd glaze & bake the ham for a cosy Christmas Eve dinner
- Bob's glaze sounds fabulous, but if you're looking for an easy one,
try brushing it with a combo of red wine and peach or apricot
preserves. Home made scalloped potatoes & a great salad would do make
my DH a happy guy...

I'd finish the ham off on Christmas morning using it in Eggs Benedict
(which is our traditional Christmas Day brunch). If you're feeling
wild, serve with a couple of Mimosas. This Mama does not make
Hollandaise until after the opening of presents and consumption of
several cups of coffee, so "breakfast" is always something simple like
bagels with good shmear. For a festive Christmas dinner for 2, Cornish
Game hens are a classic winner, but we're going with a couple of really
nice filet mignons this year...just starting to think about the rest of
the menu, but with just the 2 of us to celebrate the holiday, we do
tend have fun "eating our way" through the day.
