I think, with the exception perhaps of the December 25th one, I've heard one or more people argue for each of these being explicitly in scripture. Note I didn't say these arguments were always credible, but they exist. I think it's all a matter of interpretation, translation and frankly just what the reader is willing to accept. Personally, none of these move the needle much - there are plenty of other things explicitly said (or unsaid, as the case may be) which are far worse.
