Gesælige Cristesmæsse
[Yu-sail-ig-uh Krist-es-mess-uh]
Merry Christmas!
The British Library has a lovely article on Ælfric and his Christmas homilies.
Check out the first semon in Cotton MS Julius e vii... in Ælfric's own words:
Ure hælend Crist... acenned wæs of Þam halgan mædene Marian
[Oo-re hay-lend Krist a-ken-ed was off tham hal-gan maid-un-uh Ma-ree-an]
Our saviour Christ was born of the holy maiden Mary
