Help and some doubts, are these sentence correct?
1.-今日がクリスマスじゃなきゃよかった: It´s good that today is christmas
2.- 明日もし逢ったら言うから「すぐに帰ったよ」と: If i see you tomorrow i´ll tell you: come back immediately
3.- 約束は 北風に遊ばれて 帰ろうか、それとも 想い出にしちゃおうか: The promise to play in the wind, you came back? or did you remember it?
1.- what´s exactly the meaning of じゃなきゃ?
2.- と here is like って right?
3.- Can you tell me please what says, I tried but that doesn´t make sense, and i don´t get well the function of しちゃおう, i know it´s a contraction of してしまう but nothing else.

1. じゃなきゃ＝ではなければ
It´s good that today is christmas: I would rather say that:今日はクリスマスでよかった。
今日がクリスマスじゃなきゃよかった is It would be good if Christmas wasn't today.
2. Actually, ってis short for と言って. Because direct speech is always marked with と.
If i see you tomorrow i´ll tell you: come back immediately -- もし明日会ったら『今すぐ帰ってよ』と言うから。
明日もし逢ったら言うから「すぐに帰ったよ」と -- I'll tell you tomorrow if we meet. That I came home immediately.
3. It's nothing more than the contraction of してしまう plus おう-form (=let's ... ; I am going to ...; Won't you, please ... (from a superior person))
The promise to play in the wind, you came back? or did you remember it? -- I don't get it.
約束は 北風に遊ばれて 帰ろうか、それとも 想い出にしちゃおうか -- And what about the promise? Should we (manage to) play in the wind (and get back home), or should we forget about it (make it into memories)?
I didn't really get it either though.
The question is not clear. What sentences exactly have you doubts about?
