I don't know Russian either. But, in American English, you only 'congratulate' someone on an accomplishment. You would not say this on a birthday or Christmas. I'm not sure what you are trying to say exactly, but you could say - "they were 'cordial' (nice/pleasant) to each other"
Hope this helps.

Anastasia,
I can't translate the Russian, but the English sentence is perfect.
A minor point: birthdays is spelt with no capital B, as it is a common noun ... Christmas on the other hand has a capital C because it is the name of a particular day.
