One of the more well-known practices of the Jehovah's Witnesses is their non-celebration of holidays. All holidays, including birthdays, are considered "pagan holidays" and may not be observed by Witnesses. The official website of the Jehovah's Witnesses explains:
Jesus never commanded Christians to celebrate his birth. Rather, he told his disciples to memorialize, or remember, his death. (Luke 22:19, 20) Christmas and its customs come from ancient false religions. The same is true of Easter customs, such as the use of eggs and rabbits. The early Christians did not celebrate Christmas or Easter, nor do true Christians today.
The only two birthday celebrations spoken of in the Bible were held by persons who did not worship Jehovah. (Genesis 40:20-22; Mark 6:21, 22, 24-27) The early Christians did not celebrate birthdays. The custom of celebrating birthdays comes from ancient false religions. True Christians give gifts and have good times together at other times during the year. {1}
The Memorial of Christ's Death
Witnesses do celebrate one holiday - the "Memorial of Christ's Death," which occurs at roughly the same time as Christian Easter and the Jewish Passover. This holiday is acceptable because it was instituted by Christ himself. The Memorial is the one time during the year in which the Lord's Supper is observed. The most recent Memorial of Christ's Death was held on April 4, 2004. {2}

Jehovahs Witnesses never celebrate any holidays or birthdays. They don't celebrate anything.

There are many.
Messianic Judaism believes (and rightly so) that these holidays have pagan origin and have no place in Christianity.
Jesus states that he has not come to destroy the law of Moses and that these laws should be followed explicitly.
I could site examples but I'd rather you read it for yourself.
Fact- Jesus never celebrated his birthday.
Fact- Christmas comes from the pagan Feast of Saturnalia.
Fact- Easter comes from the Feast of Ishtar.
Fact- Christianity is based on two previous religions that bear resemblances too close to Christianity to be ignored; Mithra and Mother Husband Child worship i.e. Nimrod.
Please don't take my word for it; look it up.

You are probably thinking of the Jehovah's Witnesses.
They do have one holiday, they celebrate the memorial of Christ's death.
Here is a page about their rejection of other holidays:
