Staycation or Home Entertainment
According to Urbandictionary.com, staycation is "A vacation that is spent at one's home enjoying all that home and one's home environs have to offer." Staycation is a portmanteau or a blend of two or more words or morphemes and their meanings into a new word. Staycations have become popular nationwide due to the tough economic times and in 2008, the highest gas prices American had ever paid. Even though the term entered the lexicon several years earlier, it was officially added by its inclusion to the 2009 version of the Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary. Although common activities of a staycation can include visits to local parks and museums, staying at home and using the toys already purchased and gathering dust can be both fun and economical.
