Instead of freezing, I cut them up and put them thru my Back to Basic Food Mill. This gives me Juice and pulp. The skins and seeds are expelled. Then it goes into the pot and I boil it down a bit and can it as juice. Boiling water bath is easy and fast. No worries about the power failing in the winter, etc.

With this juice, I can make sauces, salsa, or enjoy some fresh tomato juice. There are a myriad of other things that can be made, but the main thing is that I can enjoy those wonderful flavors "all winter long".

You can also roast some in the oven. The roasting recipes and directions are in other threads here at Tomatoville.

There's a lot more possibilities to preserving tomatoes than just freezing.
