I ended up with a huge amount of really good ham one year, was making ham sandwiches and realized I didn't have any lettuce or tomato so I used sliced ripe pears instead...this turned out so well it's been an after holiday staple ever since.
Toast whatever high quality bread you're using (I like some of our local microbakery sourdoughs with things like dill and cheese, garlic & rosemary, etc.) but anything is ok - some mayonaise, a little dijon or hot honey mustard, thinly sliced ripe pears or apples. Once I put mango salsa on it. Yum.
I also used to make several different types of ham & bean soups, these can be made up as you go along - but I highly recommend a boullion paste product called better than boullion, they have a ham flavor. If you have way too much to use now, cut some into into bite sized pieces and put it in ziplocks in quantities suitable for future soups.
I didn't cook and for once didn't end up bringing home a carcass or bunch of leftovers from my family's bash last night...I usually spend Christmas making soup while I work on my projects...I miss my soup! Hm...time to go raid the fridge and see what soup fixins I have on hand...

Well you already answered it..he he..Split pea soup is terrific..especially on a cold winter day. And put loads of carrots and celery in it to! The other ham recipe i have is ham/potato casserole. OH and also i am from the south and we make a breakfast dish using ham and coffee (yes coffee). It is called "red-eye gravy" where you simmer the ham in a skillet and add coffee to the drippings. Then it is poured over the ham and grits. Have to be southern to appreciate i guess.

I'm still looking for the recipe, but I know I've made a ham/broccoli/cheese/potato casserole before, and it has cream of something soup in it.
I should start going through the old church cookbooks I have.
