Most members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) would probably be a little confused at this question. The word "sacred" is more often used than "holy" in the Church. Things that Church members consider sacred or holy might include:
The Temple: There are currenly 130 operating temples worldwide. Temples are considered sacred buildings and are dedicated to God. They are separate from the common church meetinghouses used for Sunday worship. In temples, worthy Church members can participate in the most sacred ordinances and covenants offered in the Church. It is also a place where one escape the world and quietly commune with God.
similarly, Temple Ordinances and Garment: Church members consider the ordinances received in the temple to be extrememly sacred. They do not talk about them outside the walls of the temple and are extremely offended when they are mocked. Those who have received the ordinances wear a garment at all times as a reminder of the covenants made. The garment is also considered sacred. Church members try to avoid it's touching the ground or being shown to others.
The Scriptures, including The Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price are considered the sacred word of God. While the books themselves are not generally treated as sacred objects, as they are in some religions (such as Islam and Sikhism), the words contained in them are sacred.
The body and life are also considered sacred. Church members advocate virtue, chastity, and modesty because the body is a sacred creation and gift from God. They oppose abortion and abuse because life is also a sacred gift.

Some call it a "Statement of Belief", "Articles of Belief", "Statement of Faith" or "Articles of Faith" and many of them are very similar to each other. That doesn't mean they are plagarized it just means that the religions have similar foundational beliefs. The Jewish Articles of Faith, however, are completely different than the Mormon Articles of Faith. You can compare the two at the "Related Links" below.

Yes, of course! Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) enjoy sharing faith traditions with those of other faiths.

Most Mormons choose to spend Christmas with family and friends, who may or may not share the same faith. In my family, about half are Mormon and the other half are not. We enjoy spending Christmas together every year, and religious differences have never been an issue.
