We haven't even carved into the Thanksgiving turkey yet, so we know it's too early to start thinking about Santa Claus and Christmas stuff. But we couldn't resist the puzzled look on this mustachioed Santa's face. What's he thinking? Dazzle us with the funniest caption you can think of as a comment below. Read what others have written about him first.

The winning caption will be featured in our weekly Caption Call Recap contest on Monday afternoon.
