Sunday is the Sabbath day because when God created the earth, it took him six days, on the seventh day, he rested from all His labors. Sunday was chosen to be the day of rest as Jesus was resurrected on that day. It is a day, therefore, to worship Him and not labor or work. This gives people a chance to worship Him on a weekly basis.
The prime reason, then, that Latter-day Saint Christians [Mormons] don't do 'worldly' work one day per week is because they believe in following God's example. Sunday was chosen as it is the Lord's Day of becoming Immortal and receiving eternal life.
Therefore, Sunday being the Lord's Day, it is a day on which men should do the Lord's work exclusively. There should be no unnecessary work of a temporal nature, no re-creative activities, no unnecessary travel, nor joy riding, and the like. The Sabbath is a day for affirmative spiritual worship, aside from which "thou shalt do no other thing, only let thy food be prepared with singleness of heart". Sabbath observance is an eternal principle, and the day itself is so ordained and arranged so that it bears record of Christ. It is a day to renew our covenants with God - that we remember the great sacrifice that Christ made for each and every one of us.
President Kimball gave a few guidelines about some of the acceptable engagements on the Sabbath: they included studying the scriptures and the Gospel together, especially as families, taking a sleep for an hour or two, searching out genealogies and family histories, Church work/callings or assignments, diary and remembrance entries, writing or reading spiritual insights, reading Patriarchal Blessings, good books and listening to spiritually-uplifting music, spiritual reflection, etc.
Of course, some LDS Christians do work on the Sabbath when their employment calls for them to do so - such as in the 'essential' services; they have a choice of observing the Sabbath on another day.
Further, it should be remembered that Jesus Himself declared: "The Sabbath was made for Man; not Man for the Sabbath." We should, therefore, realize that Sabbath day observance is for our own benefit and even for necessary balance in life.

Why Mormons don't shop on Sundays?
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe in following the Ten Commandments given by God to the prophet Moses. One of these commandments is to keep the Sabbath Day holy. Mormons believe that Sunday is the Sabbath Day. In order to keep the Sabbath Day holy, we should avoid work or seeking entertainment. The day should be spent in worship and in spending quality time with family. Mormons try to avoid shopping on Sunday because it can be considered seeking entertainment and also because it means someone else must work, therefore making that person break the commandment. Most Mormons are okay with going to the store on Sunday only in event of an emergency, such as needing medication. See the "Related Links" below to learn more about what Mormons believe about the Sabbath.
