Wrong to have an <em>expectation</em> of donations, maybe... but it doesn't appear that he's hitting up reluctant neighbors for the cash. You want to see unrepentant begging? Take a gander at all those trick-or-treaters. I don’t see how it’s “wrong” to have an open call for donations to fund any art project.

As far as it being wrong to "Beg for donations", I wouldn't do it, Mrs. Faris wouldn't do it, but Peter Montgomery can do as he wishes. I would help, or donate if I had a neighbor with such a talent and willingness to decorate. Simply Awesome!

I'm glad I don't live in this guy's neighborhood. It would be pointless to try to out-decorate him. Wow. I’m glad I don’t live in this guy’s neighborhood.
