The calender used to determine the date of Easter is a Hebrew calender(we use the Gregorian) so the dates do not always correlate. Also, Easter is always on a Sunday so the date is not the same each year. Meanwhile, Christmas date was pretty much picked at random as Dec 25 and has remained that way since then.
