This homeowner wins Halloween with 2020 yard decoration

A homeowner in Nashville, Tennessee, is a hit on the internet thanks to his 2020 Halloween decoration that perfectly sums up the year amid the coronavirus pandemic, a contentious presidential election and an economic recession.

James Worsham, an artist and designer, placed a large wood cutout of the numbers "2020" in his front yard.

Right next to them is a sign that reads, "It was the scariest thing I could think of ..."

"I had scrap wood laying around so I decided to put it to good use," Worsham told "Good Morning America." "And I'm kind of known for cheesy dad jokes so I figured why not put one literally on my lawn."

Worsham said he has tried to look at the bright side of things this year, which has included him being able to create new types of art in his downtime.

He hopes his Halloween piece of art also makes people stop and smile, which it has been doing for people in his neighborhood and his followers online.

"I just hope that no matter what happens to people, that they're able to laugh at things," he said.
