Billy Connolly (born November 24, 1942) is a Scottish comedian, musician, presenter and actor. He is sometimes known, especially in his native Scotland, by the nickname The Big Yin (The Big One). His first trade, in the early 1960s, was as a welder (specifically a boilermaker) in the Glasgow shipyards, but he gave it up towards the end of the decade to pursue a career as a folk singer in the Humblebums and subsequently as a soloist. In the early 1970s he made the transition from folk-singer with a comedic persona to fully-fledged comedian, a role in which he continues. He also became an actor, and has appeared in such films as Indecent Proposal (1993); Mrs. Brown (1997), for which he was nominated for a BAFTA; The Boondock Saints (1999); The Man Who Sued God (2001); Water (1985);The Last Samurai (2003); Timeline (2003); Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004); Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties (2006); and The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008). Connolly reprised his role as Noah "Il Duce" MacManus in Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day. Connolly appears as the King of Lilliput in the 2010 remake of Gulliver′s Travels.

The story is set on December 24, 2024, in the conflict-ridden areas of the Israeli-Palestinian border. The two areas are divided by a massive wall, but the two peoples do not stop fighting each other. All this is watched by a grieving God who asks his son for a moment and shows him the situation. In doing so, he reminds him of December 24, 1914, an event that took place 110 years ago. At that time, God, watching an equally cruel conflict asked his son Jesus to come down to Earth and spread love, friendship and understanding among the warring parties at least for a moment. Then German and English soldiers spent Christmas Eve together in friendship and kindness, reminding each other what love for one's neighbor is. That is why he is now asking them to do it again. “I don't care that they are not Christians, I just want them to remember what love for their neighbor is”- God the Father said. So Jesus descends to Earth and walks by the border wall. Although both Palestinians and Israelis do not see him, they feel something unusual in their hearts-love and forgiveness. Although they don't celebrate Christmas Eve every year, this day is an exception-they spend it together. Jesus and his Father watch everything with joy and tears of emotion.
