Because, ironically, the sun in closer to the Earth. Its weird, and kinda hard to explain
In the winter the the earth axis is pointed away from the sun so that a large portion of the arctic does not receive any direct light or heat from the sun at all. As a result the entire northern hemisphere is cooled. Likewise in the summer the earth's axis is angled toward the sun so that the arctic regions receive up to 24 hours of light and heat from the sun making the whole hemisphere warmer.
Earth to the Sun is more-or-less unchanging.
This is kinda hard to explain without a diagram.
The Earth turns around it's axis once every 24 hours, like a Basketball spinning on a finger. While spinning it also moves around the Sun every 365 days (a year).
Here's the tricky part:
The Earth's axis is tilted by 23 degrees. That means that in June the North Pole is closer to the Sun than the South Pole. As the Earth moves around the Sun the North Pole continues to point in the same direction, which gets increasingly less aligned with the Sun. Conversely the South Pole begins to point more towards the Sun. In December the South Pole is closer to the Sun than the North Pole. Because the South is closer it is also warmer therefore December is summer in the Southern Hemisphere. Through the following months the roles are reversed until June again when the Northern Hemisphere has Summer and the Southern has winter.
I hope that makes sense. The links below have some helpful pictures but see if you can get somebody you know to explain it better.
