OP here. For all you ham lovers who are curious about the story, but don't want to read the longest online discussion of ham in the history of the internet, here's a summary. (Sadly, no update, though.)
UPS delivered a ham, addressed to my house, with someone else's name. (Third year in a row!) Previously, we found the correct address on google and redelivered the ham. Knocked on the door each time, but no contact with the neighbor, other than a note we left, asking them to correct their address with the sender.
This year, I was feeling especially lazy and did not want to redeliver the ham. After way too much thought and much online discussion, decided to redeliver the ham. In a last ditch effort to keep the ham, I contacted ham company. Ham company said they would gladly contact the sender and correct the problem. I get to keep the ham.
Later that same day, I receive a note in the mail box from the neighbors. They know we have their ham, and they want it back.
So, I gave the ham back, and they will also be getting the corrected ham.
OP: 0 hams. Neighbor: 2 hams.
Haiku version:
Misdelivered ham.
Came to my door, but now gone.
Lasagna instead.

They're going to contact their client who sent the ham, and I get to keep this one. I can only assume that they will contact the neighbor, get his correct address, and send him a new ham. So, we'll both have hams.
It is a Christmas ham miracle.
That’s hamtastic, OP!
Lol!!!!!! Pp above who came in late to thread.
Wow! The ham company must be so overwhelmed with ham orders , their phone system couldn't handle it!
I'm so pleased you both have hams! Now you will finally know what this ham tastes like. I'm sure the prior years you were very curious and secretly wanted to taste it.
Please report back to let us know how amazing the ham is!
Not OP, but I’m sorry to report that in one of her updates she indicated that the neighbors came by and asked for their original ham. Apparently the neighbors were unaware that another ham was on it’s way. Or maybe it was a ruse to get a second ham. A ham-burglary, if you will. Either way, it’s clearly a flying pig snafu. Aluminum.
Fingers crossed when the second ham arrives, the neighbors will send it over to OP.
