If the intent here is to "correct" a Yiddishism, that cannot be done 
by using a made-up pseudo-Hebrew phrase that is not real Hebrew.

Check the sources.  The term ordinarily used, I believe, is "Qore(h)."

If I have misunderstood the intent, I offer my apology.

Also a Yiddish expression.  In Hebrew it is not the day or period 
that is happy, but rather the person.  Mo`adim lesimha.
