No strong feelings but start of a new year
It's appropriate in as much as it is the beginning of another year, to start over, refresh, a marker in time, a reason to celebrate. I used to do it. Excuse for a party. An opportunity to be with friends/family. And why shouldn't you ?  At an older age it's less important, just a date on a calendar, no different to any other day. Then when you get pretty damned old, you start to rejoice that you've seen in another year, how lucky you are to still be here.  But appropriate is a funny word to choose! Do you mean is it proper under the circumstances or do you mean is it relevant ??
It's an opportunity to celebrate the past year and all that you've managed to accomplish.
