Not all christain faiths celebrate easter either, Jehovah Witnesses, dont celebrate Christmas, Easter, New Yrs, Fathers & Mothers day and birthdays.

Every day is Mother's Day.

Why do they have leap years if the Jewish year is not the same length as a solar year anyway?

To retain a syncronization between solar years and lunar years so that the 4 season fall into a flexible position within the Jewish calendar. So that Passover falls at winter end/spring start, Shavuot (Pentacost) falls out late spring and Succot (Tabernacles) falls out summer end/fall start. The lunar year is shorter than the solar year.
