Does: 'felix dies Nativitatis' = Merry Christmas in Latin?

Just needing to know for a model I am painting and want to write this statement in latin as opposed to english (and my other work where I asked for some translations is not done yet but I will surely show images of how it ends up and how i write the latin vocab. onto the shield, parchment, etc).

Regards,

Sanjay

Christmas is "natalis Christi dies"

Happy Christmas! then is "Felicem diem Christi natalem!"

Why not plural?

Felices dies Christi natales.

If you wanted to include the whole Christmas period you could use "Felix nativitatis festum" or something like that.
