we like alot of holidays we celebrate christmas (do you realize the christ in CHRISTmas) we celebrate christmas cuz that is when christ was born. we thank god on easter for dying for us on the cross so he could have our sins and mistakes forgiven. those are the main holidays however we so celebrate the forth of july to honor our country andother holidays for fun.

Pretty much the same ones that you'd celebrate.
Christmas, easter, halloween, birthdays, 4th of july, etc.
Some Mormons celebrate July 24th as a holiday as well (not instead of the 4th) as that is the Day Mormons entered the Utah Valley.
You may be thinking of Jehovah's Witnesses. They don't celebrate a lot of hollidays that the rest of us do.

We celebrate Easter, but not Lent, or any of the other days leading up to Easter, at least, not like many Protestant and the Catholic church. We celebrate Christmas, but not Advent (at least, not in church, with the candles and all), although I think some converts do in their homes. The only holiday that most Mormons "celebrate" that non-LDS don't is Pioneer day, July 24, when the first settlers arrived in the Salt Lake valley. It's a state holiday in Utah.
Some things that Catholics and some protestants "celebrate" that we don't are things like Pentecost, Advent, Lent, things like that.

Mormons are Christians. They celebrate Easter and Christmas. They don't officially "celebrate" some of the traditional Catholic/protestant days such as lent, good friday etc. but they do recognize and celebrate Easter and christmas. Gifts are given on Christmas, easter baskets etc are given to children, etc.
The only holiday that would be "theirs" is Pioneer Day on the 24th of July to recognize the day Brigham Young came to Utah, but thats more of a Utah State holiday than a religious day.

Mormons celebrate Constantine' s Catholic/Pagan holidays such as Easter, Christmas and "Sun"day, but Mormons do not celebrate Biblical holidays commanded by God.
Mormonism rejects the covenantal responsibility of Jewish life and identity, rooted in Torah, expressed in tradition and renewed and applied in the context of the New Covenant.
Mormonism is not a restoration of the early Christian church.

Uh..they believe in Jesus and that he was resurrected...so yes, Easter is on their list. Pretty much every holiday that a nation celebrates and other Christian groups celebrate.
