A go-to for me this holiday season has been "I wasn't expecting that today. Can you give me a few minutes to process that?" It feels like I'm being honest and communicating to the other person rather than leaving then hanging, while also not putting pressure on myself to immediately react.

I love this so much! Thank you for sharing and normalizing taking one’s time.
