    Seasons have nothing to do with the earth's elliptical orbit and everything to do with the tilt of the axis. The perihelion (the nearest the earth gets to the sun) of the earth's orbit occurs in January, in the middle of the northern hemisphere winter.

    From the perspective of the northern hemisphere, winter occurs when the earth is nearest the sun and summer when it is furthest. This is obviously reversed in the southern hemisphere.
