Isn't that part of the world on the other side of the international date line? That would either make it either on Christmas and Easter itself or two days afterwards. I always get that date line thing mixed up so I can never tell whether it's "yesterday" or "tomorrow" over there.
Either way, it's quite a coincidence.

Actually, they would be a day ahead of us (here in the States)
The IDL is the cut-off point... it is where a new day starts. If you cross it from West to East (ie, going from Japan to Seattle) you loose a day. The other direction however, you gain a day.

I just know that I was pulling KP duty aboard the Breckenridge, enroute to Korea, the day we crossed the International date line and calander wise I finished my duty the day after I started.
Our today is Asia's tomorrow.
