Ham or Lamb?

Now, like so many others, our christmas plans have changed. We are 4 (2 adults, 2 children) and don't really want to go to the trouble of a turkey for just four. I already have a gammon joint which I bought last week (I think I had a 6th sense!) and we have a leg of lamb in the freezer. I'm thinking stick to the gammon and then do all the usual sides but lamb could also be lovely. Any good festive ham recipes you can recommend please?

This Mary Berry recipe is lovely. She categorises it as a "summery" recipe but the maple, ginger and spices make it excellent for Christmas as well.

Or?

Both! We have turkey, lamb and gammon/ham. Because one year about 10 years ago we had three meats at Christmas and DH decided it was a thing! Whether we have guests or not.
It's great, because it makes enough for meals for the next week at least and you don't get bored because there's variety.
Also means I get to make 2 different gravies.

Boxing day we have DH's amazing bubble and squeak with sliced meats and gravies.
Turkey and ham pie
Turkey curry
Lamb shredded up with the rest of the gravy and made into shepherd's pie, with bubble and squeak topping instead of mash.
Turkey soup
Gammon cut and put in pasta or cold with cheeses etc

I can't wait!
