How far you get on a Xmas show really depends on what you want to do and how much time you can spend.
It also depends if you are doing graphics, beams, number of event tracks your using etc.
Cue events per second also factors in here, no matter what software platform. Ie a slow tempo piece like "O Holy Night" might be cranked out as a beam show in a 7 hour day. An award winning 1450 cue show to techno might take one hundred man hours.
Most of the video tutorials for LSX apply to GLS, about 75%. So Yes, if you can spare some weekends, you'll have something for XMas.
