All of them except for the Muslim, Catholic, Jewish, etc.. holidays.
What, you think Mormons don't celebrate Valentines Day? Halloween? Christmas? It is the Church of JESUS CHRIST... they are Christians.
Live and let live.

Mormons celebrate the two main Christian holidays of Easter and Christmas, which mark the resurrection and birth of Christ, respectively. They also celebrate national and regional holidays, along with birthdays and anniversaries.
The main specifically Mormon holiday is Pioneer Day, celebrated on July 24 of each year. Pioneer Day celebrates the first entry of Mormons into Salt Lake Valley in 1847, after the long journey westward to escape religious persecution.
Mormons worldwide honor the pioneer heritage of the Church on this day, but it is especially popular in the western United States.
Other special days occur on April 6, the anniversary of the founding of the LDS church in New York in 1830, and May 15, on which some Mormons celebrate John the Baptist's 1829 visit to Joseph Smith.

They celebrate ALL holidays, and in a positive way. On Halloween in the ward ( church) parking lots they have "Trunk r' Treats" where the parents park their cars and hand out candy and treats to the costumed kids. Christmas and Easter both are made a great deals of, as are Mother's and Father's Day. You may be confusing Mormonism with the Jehovah's Witnesses. The Mormons do consider themselves Christians; thus the title of their denomination. On the whole ( my experience) they are a loving and supportive group. Note: I am not LDS, and am definitely too liberal to fit in. However I know many kind folks who are.

After having been married to a Mormon for a several years I have to say the church has some pretty weird ideas, but they do celebrate holidays. I would imagine if they celebrate or don't celebrate say Halloween or Valentine's Day is up to the individual person and not about the religion itself. I, myself wouldn't choose to be Mormon, but it works for some people. My husband wasn't a practicing Mormon, but his parents and one of his sister's are very much into their church. My husband passed away many years ago, but his mother still sends my kids all kinds of stuff for Valentine's Day, Easter, Halloween, Christmas. There is not a holiday she doesn't celebrate.

They do not celebrate Christmas nor Easter. Their big "holiday" for the year is Good Friday. I think they celebrate all other holidays.
And also the Mormons are not "Christians". Christians are followers of Jesus Christ. The mormons do not believe that Jesus Christ was the Son of God. The word "Christian" comes from the movement of the apostles who taught that Jesus was the son of God after his death.
