Anyone know why Gramercy Park wasn’t open to the public at 6 PM?

It’s my understanding that every year on Christmas Eve, Gramercy Park is opened to the public for one hour at 6 PM. Apart from knowing about it for years, they literally advertise about it on the NYC link signs around the city.

I’m not able to be with my family for the holidays this year and had been looking forward to this as a way to get me through. Got there a few min before 6 PM as a small group began to gather, and at 5:59 a some security guards inside the park walked over and said it wasn’t happening and we could go to Washington Square Park to see the carolers if we wanted (which happened at 5 PM, so it was already over).

Any idea why the cancellation this year? I can’t really think of a single reason why, it was so disappointing and surprising that most people there (including me) thought it was a joke
