Husband won a cooked ham - will it make any difference if I glaze it? Thanks.

Only if you want it hot or is not fully cooked?

It says it is cooked and we will be eating it cold.

Not if you don't want to, but glaze adds an extra dimension to the flavour. (which, of course, you could also achieve with relishes, sauces or salsa)

The big thing about doing the glaze is actually heating the ham mainly the outer part and the fat, the fat melts and/or reduces giving that ideal moisturing of the ham in a heated environ, the glzing or what you use to coat the ham after taking the skin off determines that extra flavouring that you desire.
Eating hams not glaze or heated as you received it is okay but that fat is too concentrated hence one may trim it a little to suit oneself but the down side is you lose the nice moisturising taste.
Hopes this all makes sense.

Glazing and heating the ham really takes it to another level. The smell infuses the house and makes tummies rumble. The glass adds another dimension even when eating it cold over the next few days. And of course, it looks magnificent when you serve it.
But no, you don't have to glaze or heat your ham.

If you have the oven room it is pretty cool to heat/glaze ham. I always thought it was hard, but it's super easy! And impressive!

mmmm yes - definitely glaze it - mine is in the oven now. That little taste of glaze on each slice just adds to the flavour
