Whether it's for Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year's Day, hams make a wonderful addition to your celebration. Hams also make a wonderful holiday gift. Apparently late night talk show host David Letterman is a fan of pork because he often gives away canned hams during the taping of his TV show.
