Answer 1

December 21st was the Winter Solstice in the northern hemisphere. That's the day when Earth's north pole was pointed completely away from the Sun. If you lived north of the Arctic Circle, like Santa Claus, you would have experienced 24 hours of darkness. It was the day the Sun never set.
The reason we have solstices, and seasons, is because Earth is tilted on its axis about 23.5 degrees. This causes each hemisphere to receive different amounts of sunlight throughout the year. After June 21, the sun's direct rays will again begin to shift southward from the Tropic of Cancer toward Earth's equator.
