Why does the nothern and southern hemispheres have different seasons at the same time?
Because the Earth tilts at 23.5°, meaning that sometimes the northern hemisphere is leaning towards the sun, giving it summer, while the southern hemisphere is leaning away from it, giving it winter. At other times the southern hemisphere is leaning towards the sun, giving it summer, while the northern hemisphere is leaning away from it, giving it winter.
Is the winter solstice tilted toward the sun?
At both the winter and summer solstices, the Earth is tilted towards the sun. What differs is which hemisphere is tilted towards the sun. In the northern hemisphere at its winter solstice, the southern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, while the northern hemisphere it tilted away from the sun. In the southern hemisphere at its winter solstice, the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, while the southern hemisphere it tilted towards the sun.

Why are the days so short in December?
The northern hemisphere has less daylight because the northern hemisphere is leaning away from the Sun. The Sun then appears to be lower and does not spend as much time above the horizon. However, the southern hemisphere is leaning towards the sun, so it has more hours of daylight in December, and it is summer there. Mid-summer in the northern hemisphere, when the northern hemisphere is leaning towards the sun, means more hours of daylight, while the southern hemisphere has less, because it is leaning away and in its winter.
