It's possible that he bought some online. It's also possible that the frankly terrifying packing skills he showed while carrying around costumes for the pageant have served well for Tick's Christmas decorations.
He hadn't been doing anything the past couple days, so he decorated his room.
If he had his door open, the light might be seen from the lobby. If you walked inside the room, the instrumental version of "Winter Wonderland" on repeat would surely drive you insane. On the big table in the middle of the room was a model of the school made from popsicle sticks with some fake snow sprinkled on it. There were working lights. And a tiny blue figure on the Dorm roof. And then the less said about the tree in the corner of the room, the better. One word: Shiny.
It all looked too festive. The kind of festive that you could only achieve by being a *mumble-mumble* year-old man who still believed in Santa Claus. Granted, Tick had indeed met the real Santa Claus a few years ago, so it's not that strange that he believed in the big guy. That was just a way of highlighting how festive it all looked.
