Regina Spektor recently recorded a cute little ditty wishing everyone a happy new year — “My Dear Acquaintance,” originally offered for free to customers on the Apple store, though it appears to now cost $0.99. At any rate, the song purrs sweetness, and through her lyrics, I’d like to wish all of you a fantastic 2008, filled with glamour, beauty, love and glitter.

My dear acquaintance, it’s so good to know you
For strength of your hand
That is loving and giving
And a happy new year
With love overflowing
With joy in our hearts
For the blessed new year

Raise your glass and we’ll have a cheer
For us all who are gathered here
And a happy new year to all that is living
To all that is gentle, kind, and forgiving
Raise your glass and we’ll have a cheer
My dear acquaintance, a happy new year
