It’s also been up there 25+ years as far as we know at any rate. So it would logically stand to reason there’s already a few Holiday Decorations and crap from previous missions floating around in there. No pun intended.
I've seen those hats in previous years' pics. I've also noticed that the hats seem to have something inside them to make them stand up (zero gravity, right). I envisioned it as something like a small pool noodle, and now I see him holding something that looks like a small pool noodle in this pic.
To be fair they don't weigh much and weight is the #1 factor for what gets packed and sent up.

They probably got sent up on a Dragon cargo capsule, so at least it was cheaper than a Boeing trip.
And less likely to end up in a screaming fireball...

Me too, lol!
Wouldn't it be funny if they were found to be here on Earth inside of a fake space station? 😂
It's actually not beyond the realm of possibility. There already is a mock-up:

It would explain why no one seems to be in any rush to bring them back.
They couldn't hitch a ride back home?
They’ve aged 20 years
They might as well get married at this point.
