Precooking Ham

Calling all ham experts!

Double smoking (smoking a smoked ham) a couple of hams for Christmas dinner. Only, I can't actually cook on Christmas day as we will be traveling to my parents and I plan to cook one for a friend. Current plan is to cook on the 23rd since I am traveling on the 24th. Should I just leave the ham whole and slice on Christmas day or go ahead and slice and put in pans with a something like pineapples and then warm when ready to eat or leave whole and slice and warm at dinner time? Trying to avoid it drying out.

I would leave whole and slice cold when you need it.
Yesterday I was at a Christmas festival and ordered some brisket, the guy had it whole precooked and chilled, sliced a bit off and warmed it quickly on a griddle, it was delicious.
I think pre-cutting meat can dry it out.
