Can anyone translate the salutation "happy consing" into russian.

I'd like to say "CONSivai c rodestom".  Literally cons with happiness.

Does anyone know if that would be correct, or can anyone suggest
something better?

Why into Russian?

I am Russian so I can help. The closest translation of the phrase would
be "Schastlivogo CONS..." with the last word being CONSeniya, CONSaniya
or maybe CONSestva (to become a pun of the Russian phrase for "Happy
Christmas").

"schastlivogo CONSovaniya", or perhaps "schastlivogo CONSinga".

that sounds certainly Slavic, but not Russian. :)
