I'm nowhere near 80, but I certainly share and appreciate his sentiment of things not trumping family and real friends. I grew up in poverty and one of the cherished lessons I learned is that I don't need things to be happy. Enjoy your holiday.We have to be real creative with my 80+ year old father who lives alone and has everything.
We've done carwash subscription, Netflix subscription, chromebook/e-reader, custom butcher block (linky): foot massager thingy, etc..
He's the type to just be happy with family around him.
