Who said they don't?
Why don't Christians like Mardi Gras?
It is a Christian celebration, fat Tuesday, the day before ash Wednesday, when you eat all the fat food prior to fasting for Lent.
Hey, this turned out to be a really cool site:
According to historians, Mardi Gras dates back thousands of years to pagan celebrations of spring and fertility, including the raucous Roman festivals of Saturnalia and Lupercalia. When Christianity arrived in Rome, religious leaders decided to incorporate these popular local traditions into the new faith, an easier task than abolishing them altogether.As a result, the excess and debauchery of the Mardi Gras season became a prelude to Lent, the 40 days of penance between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday.Along withChristianity, Mardi Gras spread from Rome to other European countries, including France, Germany, Spain and England.
Traditionally, in the days leading up to Lent, merrymakers would binge on all the meat, eggs, milk and cheese that remained in their homes, preparing for several weeks ofeating only fish and fasting. In France, the day before Ash Wednesday came to be known as Mardi Gras, or “Fat Tuesday.” The word “carnival,” another common name for the pre-Lenten festivities, may also derive from this vegetarian-unfriendly custom: In Medieval Latin, carnelevarium means to take away or remove meat.
That's the problem with Christianity, you have too many sects in it. Some sects do not like Christmas or Easter either.
The problem that you are having is what you believe to be a Christian. Most people are under the impression that a Christian is a person that say's that he is one. The real truth is that a Christian is a footstep follower of Jesus Christ. They don't make up rules that please the majority. Real Christianity is a path that only a few are on.
Matt 7:21-23 “Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of the heavens, but only the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. Many will say to me in that day: ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ And then i will declare to them: ‘I never knew you! Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness!’

True followers of Jesus do not celebrate Mardi Gras, because Jesus stated that his followers are no part of the world. John 15:19
