Why do your people have seasons?

Let me know if you want to know why the sea is salt, why there are earthquakes, or why the fox has a white tip to his tail, though

The first tale that came to my mind is "Frau Holle". It's a Grimm's tale, I am not sure if you have it too.
In this tale, it snows because a woman called "Holle" (may be related to "Hel") shakes her bedding and the feathers she shakes out of it land on the earth as snow.

Other than that we have a lot of season related folklore, especially for the darker time of the year, but I can't think of stories WHY there are seasons.

Looking back on my southern California childhood, maybe the change in seasons was because Disneyland couldn't afford the big summertime fireworks display all year long. so it was necessary to have winter.

I was thinking that the seasons change elsewhere so that the tourist will come to Florida. Otherwise, the part time residents wouldn't know when to come.
