Bodhi day celebration, is it universally on December 8th or do some Mahayana buddhists use a lunar calendar?

China, Taiwan, South Korea and Vietnam use the lunar calendar for all Buddhist holidays save for some exceptions (Taiwan's Vesak is on the same day as Mother's Day). Japan is a bit different due to the Meiji Restoration, such that most holidays, Buddhist or non-Buddhist, now follow the Gregorian Calendar.
