Mei had already mentioned wanting to decorate and decides not to ask Mindy how exactly they managed to obtain multiple reindeer that light up, much less just one, due to just how adorable the RV looks decked out as Santa's sleigh. Lights are also hung up around the top of the RV. Inside, even if it would only be seen by the three roommates, Mei did her best to decorate for the holiday with pine garland, some cheaper decorations, and three stockings that she would inevitably fill with candy (and maybe a little bit of fake coal as a joke) for Mindy and Lou.
