southern/northern hemisphere winter?

Question

since in the northern hemisphere we're closer to the sun in the winter but in the southern hemisphere we're farther are the winters colder in the southern hemisphere?

Answer 1

No, because you are not farther. But, of course, the seasons are reversed. Christmas in Australia is in their summer, climate-wise.

Answer 2

As a pagan i will allow you to already know putting the "new year" contained in the approach between the coldest months of the year is a few retardo Christian element. each and every Pagan custom is somewhat diverse notwithstanding the three major situations to celebrate the hot year is (what you call) Halloween, xmas (the iciness solstice) or the spring equinox. (for sure it truly is barely for traditions contained in the northern hemisphere)
