But you don't estimate holidays in ... you estimate how long it would take if someone picks on the task Monday morning and works on it full time.

If someone picks up task on Monday then has 20 other meetings - estimation is still the same, he just continues after those 20 meetings and you just don't care when estimating.

Only thing is if at the end of sprint dude is saying "I started X then I had 20 meetings so I did not make it" - well you just accept that or you don't put guy into 20 meetings.

You estimate tasks that way, but you estimate capacity to do tasks on your actual track record, which will include holidays and other things.
