Of course, I could recast those sentences: "We have much for which to be thankful," but that doesn't sound right. Similarly, the "in" in "That depends on what you believe in" is superfluous and you could just as easily say, "That depends on what you believe," but it also sounds wrong, especially when you are making a point about a belief in something.
Perhaps it relates to where I come from but all of those sentences sound perfectly fine to me.
