The journal may take longer than usual time after updating the status as "Ready for decision" if there are many manuscripts to be considered for an editorial decision. This would mean that your manuscript would be held in a queue and will be actioned only after other manuscripts have been acted upon. Additionally, the journals may delay in making a decision if the period clashes with the holiday period.
In case you have still not received a decision, you can send an inquiry email to know the status of your manuscript.
