Am I crazy or is there an extended Okinawan holiday that coincides with Christmas & New Years?

It’s been decades since I was there, but I’ve always (incorrectly) remembered the Obon Festival taking place in Dec/Jan. However, I just read that it’s actually in August lol.

So, is there a Okinawan winter holiday I’m not remembering or do the Okinawans just like celebrating Christmas & (Western) New Year?

I mean, I know they do, “because it’s fun so why not?” as one of my friends put it, but I always thought there was one of their big holidays happening too!
