It depends on the holidays. In most of the holidays, there are biblical reasons why we don't celebrate them and also if you looked into the holidays past. Some holidays are based on pagan holidays. If you want to know why, you can ask one of Jehovah's Witnesses for more information.

∙ 13y agoAccording to the Scriptures, the day the baby was born was usually one of rejoicing and Thanksgiving on the part of the parents. However, there is no indication in the Scriptures that faithful worshipers of Jehovah ever indulged in the pagan practice of annually celebrating birthdays.
The Bible makes direct reference to only two birthday celebrations, those of Pharaoh of Egypt (18th century B.C.E.) and Herod Antipas (1st century C.E.). These two accounts are similar in that both occasions were marked with great feasting and granting of favors; both are remembered for executions, the hanging of Pharaoh's chief baker in the first instance, the beheading of John the Baptizer in the latter.-Ge 40:18-22; 41:13; Mt 14:6-11; Mr 6:21-28.
Jesus inaugurated a binding Memorial, not of his birth, but of his death, saying: "Keep doing this in remembrance of me." (Lu 22:19) If early Christians did not celebrate or memorialize the birthday of their Savior, much less would they celebrate their own day of birth.
The festive celebration of birthdays does not find its origin in either the Hebrew or the Greek Scriptures.
The Bible says to morn at birth and to rejoist at death.

Why don't the Jehovah's Witnesses celebrate teachers day?
Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate holidays that they believe do not fit true Christianity. These include Christmas, Easter, and even birthdays. The Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Christ did not command his birth - or any birth - to be celebrated; he just wanted his death to be remembered.
How do you invite jehovas witness to a birthday?
It can't be done. Jehovah's Witnesses don't observe their annual birthdate. You'd be doing it all alone, all by yourself. Many of us don't even know how old we are, unless we figure it out each time; because we don't celebrate birthdays we never know how old we are. (Oh did I say that already?)
Why do not celebrate birthday?
If Birthday celebrations are linked to paganism, Why should we do it? Besides, when celebrating a Birthday, the birthday person is the center of attention for a day. Don't the Scriptures clearly states that YHWH (God the Creator) and His Word has to be in whom we meditate day and night, everyday? -Deuteronomy 6.
What things do the Samoan's celebrate?
We celebrate most Christian religious holidays like Christmas & Easter. We also celebrate birthdays ( I only say this because I know some religions and/or cultures dont celebrate birthdays) We also celebrate White Sunday which is a Sunday dedicated to celebreating our children. At church on White Sunday the children basically conduct the service and act out plays, sing songs and perform dances for the congregation. I think I've covered your question, but apologies if Ive missed out some.
Why don't Jehovah Witnesses believe in the birth of Christ?
Jehovah's Witnesses do not have doubts that Jesus was born. In fact, they are just as thankful he was born as the next person. They dont celebrate his birth, because his death holds more signifigance. Luke chapter 22 verses 19 through 20 gives clear meaning that Jesus was saying to celebrate his death, not his birth. His blood really saved man, not his birth. This question was no doubt asked on the bases that Jehovah's Witnesses do no celebrate Christmas. Contact local witnesses for more information about why they dont celebrate christmas or Jesus' birth.
Should you give a card to a Jehovah's witness for the birth of their child?
Yes you can give a witnesses a card; whether the witnesses will chose to accept it will depend on several factors. Since Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate Christmas or birthdays (or other celebrations they deem as 'pagan') if this has previously been explained the witness may or may not choose to accept the card if it is for one of these occassions. He or she may accept the card in the spirit it was given, explaining the above or may chose not to accept the card. If the card is for another occassion that the witnesses finds unobjectionable they will likely accept it with thanks.
