OP here. I'm not interested in arguing with the neighbors over the ham, so I stood down. I was worried that they were counting on it for Christmas and that a replacement might not arrive in time. That would be a total grinch move.
Honestly, this ham-sperience has been endlessly amusing and I've enjoyed it more than I would have enjoyed the sweet, smoky pork that was in the box.

My thought exactly!!! Please let us know OP if you receive the replacement ham. If not, we will start a gofundme to sponsor the new ham!

It has been a roller coaster of a day with this ham.
The neighbors left us a note in the mailbox, letting us know that they should be getting another ham delivered to our address, and asking us to let them know when it arrives so they can come get it. (This was our first contact with these neighbors, outside of the note we left on their ham last year.)
So, we left it on our porch, and the ham went home. I taped another note to the box, letting them know that I contacted the ham company and told them that they had misdelivered the ham, so it shouldn't happen again.
If it does happen again, I'm eating that ham immediately, in the front yard. You're all invited.
No. Absolutely not. They don't need another ham. One is plenty. They shouldn't be consuming or serving that much pork, it's not good for you.
If they deliver it, I'll give you my address. I can use it and you can drop it off. I don't have not even one Christmas ham.
Are the neighbors fat, OP?

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.
Hamazing!

Amazing! I'm guessing OP's husband watched The Secret this year and it's paying off (in ham)!

Ham for the Holidays: A Honey Baked Love Story
I'd totally watch that movie.
She was a high powered PR agent living in NYC and engaged to Dickish Von Rich, an investment banker from a well known family. One morning, a ham showed up at their door. "Woah!" She exclaimed. "This was supposed to go to Rustbeltville, Kasasota!" Dishish told her they should just eat it. She decided it would be a fun roadtrip for them and she didn't want to think that someone's Christmas was ruined. Dishish went along at first but then broke up with her right before the trip because he thought it was such a dumb idea. One tearful montage drive later she arrives. Fish out of water antics, like having to carry her own bags!? She found the home of the ham and...it was a Christmas tree farm. An elderly man greeted her and demanded that she join them for dinner. His grandson, Flannely Sixpacker is at the dinner as well. Can Flannely show her the true meaning of Christmas...and love?
I love you so much!!!
