<human>: What are some good tips for preparing a ham for a party?
<bot>: 
1. Make sure the ham is properly cooked and cooled before you begin to carve it up.
2. If possible, buy a pre-cooked ham from your local butcher or supermarket so that you don’t have to worry about cooking it yourself.
3. Trim away any excess fat or skin from the ham prior to serving.
4. Place the ham on a platter or cutting board with a clean surface.
5. Use a sharp knife to slice the ham thinly and evenly.
6. Serve the slices of ham at room temperature.
