Sure. All of them. We just don't believe in god.
And, we are usually happy to be invited to a nice Christmas or Hanukahh party.

What kind of question is this?
Of course, atheists celebrate holidays.
Atheists even celebrate christmas. Some even celebrate easter.
Some holidays have a religious background but are not religious anymore such as Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Halloween, and Thanksgiving. Atheists have no problem with these.
Of course, there are also the holidays without religious ideas behind them. 4th of July and Labor Day.

First of all, atheists don't believe in god...so why would they celebrate any days that pertain to god? But they do get the days off since they are usually national holidays. But Thanksgiving, Martin Luther King Day, Memorial Day, are all public holidays so yes they would celebrate holidays.

Yes, most atheists continue to celebrate the traditions they grew up with, and in addition, have personal values based on the religion they were raised in (example - an atheist who was raised Catholic may be staunchly pro-life)

Reported............insulting atheists. Are you implying that we are not people? Since the Christian bully mob reported me for a simple question, all Christians will be reported where possible for bringing up their religion or insulting atheists.

No. No, we all hate fun. So we celebrate nothing, but uhh, persecuting Christians. Or that's what I've been told about us.

Every one of them, plus a few more. Yesterday was Darwin Day, for instance.
