Most everyone has New Years Day off but some do not have the day before. Your first step is to request New Year's Eve off. Tell the boss "I really need the time with my guy".
Step2
Take time to make a list of snacks and romantic candles. I always like the ready made snack trays you can get at a grocery store. They are well worth the money.
Step3
Get your items from the grocery store. Do your household chores that morning so you can take your time the rest of the day setting up a romantic evening at home.
Step4
Get a baby sitter or make sure you tire the kids out if you are married with children, put them to bed, you love your children but now is the time to renew your relationship.
Step5
Set up a small table with candlelight by the fireplace or near a window. You know the best place in the house, use it.
Step6
Make sure you have everything in place by 11:00 pm. Make sure you have rested. Now you have to go back in your mind to the first time you had your New Years Eve with him.
Step7
Remind him of that time by dressing as you would have then. Yes even an evening dress if you like.
Step8
When you sit down do not talk about work or the children or any other boring topic. Talk about yourselves and how you have grown together. Remember the first New Year together. If you do it right you both will be back in time to a more romantic time.
