Earth makes an elliptical orbit and on december 22nd our planet lies closer to the sun than on june 21st. Does that mean summers are warmer in the southern hemisphere?

Does that make any sense?

If everything else was the same, then yes, southern summers would be slightly warmer.

However, weather and climate is a very complex thing and the fact that the southern hemisphere has a lower land area and more ocean area plays a bigger role than aphelion/perihelion.
