What makes snow-globing' unique is that it only applies to the time leading up to the holidays.

Other dating terms or fads can happen at other times of the year, but not snow-globing!

It can be pretty abrupt, too, which, for the person inside the "snow globe," can feel like their world is shattering around them.
