You will be heard at Christmas (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yule

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'christmas' is the definition.
(Yule is the Christmas period)

'you will be heard' is the wordplay.
'you' becomes 'yu' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'will' becomes 'll' (contracted form, as in 'he'll' - 'he will').
'be heard' shows a homophone (sound like).
'll' is a homophone of 'le'.
'yu'+'le'='YULE'

'at' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for yule that I've seen before include "Noel" , "Seasonal feast (arch.)" , "Christmas season" , "The feast of Christmas" , "This time of year of old" .)
