"Good tidings we bring, to you and your kin. Good tidings for Christmas ..." Unless, of course, you're the L.A. Lakers, who, for the 34th time (second only to New York's 44), spend Dec. 25 working while much of the world has the day off. The Lakers look to snap a five-game Christmas Day losing streak when they match up with the Phoenix Suns after three straight years wilting against the Miami Heat.

Though only Miami and Los Angeles played last year, there are three games on the slate in 2007, as the Cavaliers, Suns, Sonics and Blazers join in the festivities. Below is a look at how active NBA franchises have fared on Christmas Day:
