Check your hemispheric chauvinism at the door. For the folks in the southern hemisphere the shortest day of year corresponds nicely with aphelion. As Earth precesses (like the wobble of a gyroscope) through the millennia there will be coincidences of summer solstice & aphelion for the northern hemisphere. You just have to wait about 12,000 years.

I'm reminded of something I saw - I think on TV - a few years ago. An
enterprising reporter or filmmaker interviewed Harvard students on the day of their graduation. One question was, "Why is it warmer in summer than winter?" One fellow blithely asserted that the earth was closer to the sun and that accounted for the warmer days. I guess he hadn't heard of the southern hemisphere, let alone how perihelion (a term I'm sure he had never heard, either) actually occurs in December. It was shocking, and a bit sad, how many of his fellow graduates had the same response.
Maybe there's a project for Joe next graduation season?

Oops, I meant to say "coincidences of _winter_ solstices & aphelion..." We're already got a coincidence of northern summer solstice & aphelion. Those extra couple of million miles distance from the Sun (compared to January) really makes a difference, eh? Keeps us nice and cool! Love it. But seriously, Earth does receive a couple of percent less solar energy in July than it does in January. That small seasonal change in solar input is extremely small compared to the heating & cooling effects of the polar tilt towards and away from the sun, however.

For the folks in the southern hemisphere the shortest day of year corresponds nicely with aphelion. As Earth precesses (like the wobble of a gyroscope) through the millennia there will be coincidences of summer solstice & aphelion for the northern hemisphere.
